COLLABORATE
A group of Shropshire based artists and designers, curated by VAN member Helen Foot and including
members Sam Pooley and Richard Foot, will be showcasing their work in an exhibition at The Hive Music and Media Centre in Shrewsbury. From the 30th November to 20th January.
COLLABORATE will showcase a series of interdisciplinary projects which have been happening in Shrewsbury over the past six months. From fashion to film, branding to blurbs, the show documents a rising trend in skill sharing. The projrects are live added and taken away throughout the course of its opening. The public are also given the opportunity to revisit the gallery, to follow the steady progression of ideas and view resolved pieces at the end.
Exhibits include work by the ëNew Facesí, a group of the hottest young designers in Shrewsbury set up and nurtured by VAN member Sam Pooley. There are also new works by Richard Foot and Arron Fowler.

BELOW THE SURFACE
In an exhibition at The Edge Arts Centre Much Wenlock, Below the Surface shows the latest paintings by Artist Wren Miller
Her artworks are made with soil, rock and organic detritus, materials gathered from various sites in Shropshire, including Fordhall Organic Farm, an island in the River Severn and Wenlock Edge.
Wren’s painting techniques are like conversations, dialogues of actions and reactions an artist’s exploration of the behaviour of soils in simulated geological conditions. Forces of pressure, abrasion,
heating and freezing are applied, responses weighed and arrested at a point of aesthetic satisfaction, when Wren feels the earth has spoken.
Below the Surface is a show full of abstract imagery, faux landscapes and symbolism, open to interpretation; they seek to involve the viewer in seeing both the macro and the micro at the same time.
