THINK XL is set to be Black Swan Arts major fundraising exhibition for this momentous 40th anniversary year.
The current Programming Group has set out an ambitious fundraising exhibition in The Long Gallery, showcasing 40 artists with a connection to Black Swan Arts from 1986 – 2026.
Featuring 40 original artworks for sale including automata, ceramics, drawings (charcoal, ink & pencil), glasswork, paintings, photographs, sculpture, stone carving, textiles and wood carving – all generously gifted to be sold for the benefit of Black Swan Arts.
Many of the artists continue their creative practice locally; others now live in different areas of the country whilst some are internationally renowned.
The artists include Rachel Grigor and Anna Wright, both members of the group led by architect David Short who steered the project from the start in the mid 1980s. Jennifer Douglas and Clare Venables were amongst the first studio-workshop holders and have also contributed artwork along with Alan Overton, long-time member of Frome Art Society.
Following on from successful 25th and 30th anniversary fundraising exhibitions, THINK XL will be no exception to this enduring legacy, showing for almost 40 days – Black Swan Arts invites you to be part of this collaboration of artists, art-lovers and supporters!
Since a successful preview evening more than half of the donated artworks have sold. Now the clock is ticking … the days are counting down as THINK XL celebrates 40 years, showing in The Long Gallery until 4pm on Sunday 10 May.
