Novas Gallery Camden re-opens its doors with an exciting Sculpture Exhibition created in its sister community based Sculpture Studio.
The Studio is one of the hidden artistic gems in Camden Town providing much needed creative sculpture space for the community. Novas Gallery Camden and the Sculpture Studio, owned by the Novas Scarman Group, is managed as an ethical community based social enterprise. The Gallery re-opens with an exhibition of the work of over 20 different sculptors highlighting the talent that exists in a diverse range of local artists.
The Sculpture Studio managed by tutor Chris Cullen aims to encourage the development of individual talent through an unstructured but supportive artistic environment.
Chris Cullen notes:
“The Studio has definitely strengthened the community in Camden and enabled some excellent and high quality work to be developed demonstrating the creativity that exists in local people.”
Sam Heywood, one of the students, comments:
“ There is a great camaraderie amongst the artists and many strong friendships have been built – not least the sense of support the artists have from each other regarding their work and working practice”.
The students and their work are very diverse reflecting the inclusive cross section of the local community using the gallery, from experienced artists and homeless people to those new to sculpture.
The exhibition of their work aims to provide a profile for the artists as well as help develop an income to support them in their artistic careers. 100% of any commission made by the Gallery is re-invested back into the Novas Scarman Group’s charitable work with homeless people in Camden.
Members of the public are encouraged to support this creative venture by attending the exhibition, which opens on the 20th June and will run until the 5th July. Entry to the gallery is FREE and opening times are 12pm to 7pm Monday to Saturday. The private view is to be held on the 19th June between 6.30 to 8.30 pm. Everyone is welcome.
