Cupola’s 35th Anniversary Open exhibition Dates: 11 July – 6 September Opening: Friday 10 July. 7-9pm – all welcome – hospitality provided.

Recession, Supertram works, Financial crash, Covid pandemic, flood, structural building disaster, etc but also fantastic diverse shows from artists of national and international repute from almost every country in the world alongside locally based talent. In the 35 years of trading we have shown the work of more than 10,000 artists across every conceivable medium. Not only have we shown painting, sculpture, printmaking, photography, glass, ceramics, textiles and jewellery, but we have showcased automata, installations, conceptual art, performance art, sound art, film, video, a fashion show and even wheelchair dance! We have hosted, on average, a breathless turnover of approximately 10 gallery exhibitions per year across our four exhibition spaces and our award winning sculpture garden. It was and continues to be a rather crazy ride!” Karen Sherwood, Curator and Director. Although Cupola cannot possibly celebrate 10,000 artists in one show we are doing what we can to try to celebrate the incredible diversity and talent of artists by hosting a salon type show, think Royal Academy Summer Show, with over 150 artists representing the diversity for which Cupola prides itself. Well known, regularly represented, artists will sit alongside those who are exhibiting for the first time. It will be a busy show, bursting with life and creativity. It aims to be a celebration of artistic talent. All works are for sale and visitors, of all ages, are always welcome.
