Every week, Express presents a selection of exhibitions, performances, workshops, events and other historic, creative and delicious content to help islanders get their weekly dose of culture.
Here’s this week’s offering…
Birds of a feather…
‘Flock Together’ will explore hidden stories told through button art and bird folklore using various paintings, sketches, poetry and sculptures.
The Collins Pop-Up Exhibition Series is a programme of weekend exhibitions featured across the year.
It invites the community to enjoy the work of local artists in ArtHouse Jersey’s unique exhibition space for a short ‘pop-up’ time period.
Islanders can attend the ‘Flock Together’ exhibition this weekend from 10:00 to 17:00 each day at ArtHouse Jersey’s Grève de Lecq Barracks.
As well as displaying their work, artists Janine Graham and Emma Faull will have a table for demonstrations and visitors will have the opportunity to create their own pieces.
