Artists from across the Eastern Bay are being invited to take part in a vibrant pop-up art exhibition opening early next year.

The Arts Collective Exhibition, convened by Eastern Bay artist David Poole, will open on January 17 in the spacious former Dick Smith building on The Strand.

“We hope to be open for at least a month,” he said.

A similar pop-up exhibition held in the same venue last January proved hugely popular, attracting strong public interest and showcasing an impressive variety of creative work.

The generous size of the space allows artworks to be displayed to full effect.

This year, organisers are keen to expand the range of works on show, with a particular interest in including sculpture alongside wall-based art.

Artists interested in exhibiting are encouraged to get in touch with Poole at [email protected] or on 021 033 1995.
