Ten contemporary artists from The Sapphire Blue Collective are presenting an exhibition of their work across disciplines including ceramics, painting, weaving, collage, drawing, object making and installation from Monday 17 to Saturday 29 July at Maketank.
Radiance, Rubrics and Rituals: So We Are Held draws inspiration from the group’s manifesto, which emphasises kindness, kinship and resilience, and references the various strategies and approaches to art making its members employ.
The Sapphire Blue Collective was established during the COVID-19 pandemic by a group of artists studying for postgraduate degrees at Arts University Plymouth.
They created a close mutual support network intended to foster creative exploration and push towards academic excellence.
Artists participating in the exhibition include Poppy Goldsmith, Hannah Holford, Leah Jordan, Christina (Tina) Kutter, Janie M McDonald, Polly Plouviez, Tim Ridley, Alice Simpson, Marion Smylie and Kate Williams.
Radiance, Rubrics and Rituals: So We Are Held takes place from Monday 17 to Saturday 29 July 2023 at Maketank.
The exhibition is open daily from 10am-4pm except 10am-6pm on Thursdays and Wednesday, when it is closed.
There is an opportunity to meet the artists at the exhibition from 5pm-8pm on Friday 21 July. All are welcome.
