Held at Technically Brilliant Gallery in Golden Square, Spotlight Three, until the end of July, continues the not-for-profit gallery’s mission to showcase the work of a range of contemporary artists and makers in Warrington. The latest exhibition heralds the beginning of the summer programme with artists residencies, workshops and a major retrospective all taking place throughout July and August, in addition to the celebration of LGBTQ+ artists for Pride month. Jo Bramham-Smith, gallery co-owner and in-house artist commented “ We are thrilled to bring the work of many of our favourite artists – many of them local – to a Warrington audience. Visitors can pick up an original piece of art created by our talented artists as well as meet some of them when they join us in store for residencies over the summer. We also run art exploration workshops where you can learn about artists and then be inspired to have a go at creating your own art to take home. Myself and the other in-house artist, Matt also run workshops where we pass on our knowledge of the techniques needed to create your own piece of art. A retrospective of several of our regular artists will open in August and we continue to stock beautiful, original collections by our makers. And all of this is happening in Golden Square, Warrington.”
One of the artists taking up a residency in August is Simon Hardcastle and his stunning stained glass pieces are currently on display at the gallery. Commenting on the upcoming collaboration with Technically Brilliant Gallery, Simon said “ I am delighted to be able to share the process of making my stained glass with visitors to Golden Square this Summer. My residencies on August 2nd, 4th and 23rd & 25th August will showcase these ever changing pictures of light and I encourage people to come along to see my work being created in the gallery. “
Other residencies include the craft of Jackie Warburton and painting by Jo Bramham-Smith, Matt George and Judith Booth with more to be announced throughout the summer.
