Northlight Artspace
At Northlight you can join a class but you can also come and take part in or visit
extra events such as Exhibitions, Artists Talks, ‘Show and Tell’ Evenings and Fairs
Artspace is the name that we have given to our multifunctional ground floor space. As well as a light teaching space the room is often transformed into a bright gallery and Exhibition Space. Our termly programme often includes exhibitions from guest artists. We usually have a preview evening on a Friday followed by the exhibition which is open to all over a weekend.
We also use this space for Artists Talks which are open to all students and the public usually on a Friday evening once a term. Artists may share their own work or give an illustrated talk on the work of a particular person or movement. Open discussion follows, plus an opportunity to socialise with a glass of wine.
‘Show and Tell’ Evenings take place usually once a term, again on a Friday evening - where our resident studio artist and students informally share what they are currently working on over a glass of wine. It’s an informal and safe place to talk about your work and receive feedback. The sessions are open to all - why don’t you come along and see - you don’t need to show your work you can just listen and ask questions.

EXHIBITION
UNQUIET NATURE - LAND & SEA
by Kate Boyce
A collection of new original work from a Northlights studio artist. Kate is a mixed media painter and collage artist whose semi abstract work is inspired by nature and landscape.
Kates recent work explores our relationship with nature at its wildest - at our coastline. It explores the draw that we have towards the sea and the energy that can be felt from it’s presence. Also the extent to which the sea allows us to exist in its proximity and the growth and decay that can be found along the shore.
