EVENT ALERT! 🚨⁠ Aged 14-19? Keen to push your engagement with art to the next level?   Join JHG Youth Collective, a creative space to make, explore and look at our exhibitions with @Emma_Moxey_artist⁠.   The first session is this Saturday 10 February at 2.30pm. Meet in the gallery foyer for 'Creatures of the Deep'… 🦑   Suspended, pendulum-like, cramped in a metal pod, in the darkness, half a mile beneath the waves: What can you see through your small quartz window to another world? Exploring blue through a variety of experimental techniques and media, join the JHG Youth Collective for a dive into the surreal world of the deep blue sea, filling the walls with a weird and wonderful phantasmagoria dredged from the imagination! Email [email protected] for more information, or see you there! #JHGCollective #JHGYC #YoungArtists  #Art #Artist #EmmaMoxey #JHGEngagement #ArtOpportunity #ArtsOpps #Southampton #SotonEvents #SotonArts #FreeEvent #SouthamptonEvents Image 1: Emma Critchley, Soundings, film still, 2024 (footage courtesy of The National Oceanography Centre and the Trustees of the Natural History Museum, with acknowledgement to the NERC SMARTEX project).

⁠Space to Create! 🎨⁠ Saturday 8 February 11am–1pm⁠ FREE⁠ ⁠ In @AbelardoGFournier and Jussi Parikka’s film LUMI, on our Digital Array, encourages us to: “Arrange images as Mountains […] re-paint the mountain range”.⁠ ⁠ For this week's Space to Create! session, we're asking you to think of the landscape you call home, and create a "mountain range" of how you see the areas you know best.⁠ ⁠ You'll consider what plants would grow, and what creatures would live there, in order to create a whole new world and "re-paint the mountain range"!⁠ ⁠ –⁠ ⁠ Space to Create! is our weekly creative workshop, inspired by our current exhibitions. Suitable for everyone aged 4 and over, join us to draw, make, and build together!⁠ ⁠ #JHGSpacetoCreate #LUMI #FreeFamilyEvents #ArtforKids #JHGEngagement #Southampton #FamilyEventsSouthampton⁠ @uos_engagement⁠ ⁠ 📷: @nosamalcolm
OPENING THIS WEEK! 🚨⁠ ⁠ Kathy Prendergast: Stasis Field⁠ 8 February–3 May⁠ ⁠ Preview: Friday 7 February, 6–8pm⁠ ⁠ Kathy Prendergast uses "non-precious" materials including chalk stone and wool to explore materials' connection to the earth.⁠ ⁠ Her signature red threads tie the works together, symbolising energy, identity, and transformation. The exhibition challenges you to consider your own sense of self, the journeys you've taken, and the boundaries – both visible and invisible – that shape your life.⁠ ⁠ Prendergast's exhibition is deeply reflective and timely, inviting audiences to contemplate their relationship with the land, their histories, and their place in an ever-changing world.⁠ We are open Tuesday to Saturday, and entry is free.
