1. Sprout Summer Exhibition (title tbc).
Last year we planned to celebrate our 10th anniversary so this year we will celebrate 11 years instead with a month long show for Sprout artist members, split into 2 halves showing different mediums. Membership is £15 / yr.
Some artwork may fall into both categories so we will decide which one or both shows we feel your art will work best in but there might be opportunities to show in both if the work first the criteria.
* 29th June to 11th July - illustrations, graphic design, calligraphy and typography
* 13th-24th July - fine art paintings, photography and textiles

2. Sprout Lockdown Art Show - 28th September - 11th October 2021.
What did YOU do in Lockdown?
Sprout Community Arts will bring together how you felt, what you thought, what you made, what you wrote; we'll be asking you to send us your pictures, sounds, words we'll create a multi media exhibition comprising artwork spontaneously created by professional artists and the community within the 2020 and 2021 Lockdown periods. It will be curated to reflect the different types of experiences people had including how these made them feel. Tell us what you and/or your Group/Family can offer.
