Poppies & Things

The bench was donated to us by Sheppey Matters to be painted and returned for their Poppy exhibition to be held in Sheerness community Centre, “Gateway” and was painted on by over 70 artists. Some painted one and others painted more but all seemed to have a general excitement and anticipation as to how their work was going to be received in the community.

Turner Project

As part of the Koestler Trusts annual cycle of exhibitions, The Turner gallery kindly hosted an exhibition of visual, written and audio works submitted from Kent and Sussex prison. Our artists at HM Prison Elmley managed to plant 18 pieces out of a total 150 works exhibited in this prestigious gallery in the far south east of England.
