CROW Show: Light includes paintings, prints, sculpture and ceramic and textile works by collective members.

Creative Older Women artists CROW Show Light exhibition Wednesday 13 to Tuesday 26 September Maketank

CROW began in January last year with a meeting of seventeen artists at Maketank. The aim was to bring together older women artists to develop a mutual support and skills-sharing network.

The network has since held monthly workshops exploring techniques including book-making, life drawing and portraiture and has hosted presentations of artists’ work and made studio visits.

Now in its second year, the group is made up of eighty-nine professional Devon-based older female artists.
