‘Something Old Something New’ is a members exhibition celebrating historical and new works alike. Every artist has work that is still significant and special, that no longer has the opportunity of being included in shows. This exhibition is the artists chance to bring those works back into the limelight once again.

The art of Diorama brings a whole new dimension to sculpture in a gallery context, local artists Emma Springford-Gough, Tracey Roberts, David Bailey, Jeff Thomson and Laura Schiessel have been working within this theme, alongside a youth art display.
