​

Honoring the legacy of Emmy Bridgwater, the great surrealist artist and poet who called Solihull home, this vibrant outdoor exhibition brings together newly commissioned works of 30 talented artists from Solihull and the West Midlands. Bridgwater’s own bold visions shaped British surrealism, and in her spirit, each artist has created a fresh, new work on the theme of ‘Surreal’, inviting you to see the familiar in unexpected ways.

 

This exhibition will be running in Solihull Town Centre from 7th March - May, with a further 3 months, June - August, in a location to be decided.

The New Art Gallery Walsall is proud to present The Twenty Twenty Collection exhibition.

 

The works, spanning a variety of media from collage and photography to drawing and painting, respond to world events over a tumultuous year; from the Covid19 pandemic and National Lockdowns, to Black Lives Matter and Brexit, to Class Inequalities and Climate Change.

This presentation will show how artists play a vital role in helping us shape, understand and respond to current and future events.

A new interactive wall-drawing by collection artist Yasmin Agilah-Hood in our Foyer will welcome visitors back to the Gallery next year to accompany the exhibition, along with interactive activities which will allow visitors the opportunity to reflect on their own experiences of this significant time period.
