Artwey Opens Pop-Up Gallery in the Heart of Weymouth
Artwey, a dynamic arts organisation dedicated to promoting creativity in South Dorset, has launched a pop-up gallery at 82a St Thomas Street, Weymouth, DT4 8EN (formerly The Body Shop). Thanks to the support of a generous local landlord, this new space is open from 10 AM to 4 PM, Monday to Saturday and will operate through February, with a possibility of extending further.
A Rotating Platform for Local Artists
This exciting gallery offers a unique rotating platform, featuring up to four artists each week and showcasing their diverse talents across various mediums. As the holidays approach, visitors can look forward to a broader selection of artwork and handmade items, perfect for gift-giving or festive inspiration.
Art for Every Taste
Artwey members will display a rich variety of work, including painting, printmaking, sculpture, textiles, encaustic wax, ceramics, and jewellery. In addition to original artworks, the gallery will offer an assortment of handcrafted gift items, such as cards, prints, coasters, cushions, and other unique treasures ideal for the holiday season.
Meet the Artists
A distinctive feature of the pop-up gallery is that it is manned by the artists themselves. This provides visitors with the special opportunity to engage directly with the creators, discuss their work, hear about their inspirations, and gain insights into their artistic processes.
Workshops and Demonstrations
In addition to the exhibitions, Artwey has plans to host workshops and demonstrations for the public. These events will allow attendees to explore various artistic techniques and mediums in a hands-on setting, guided by the talented artists exhibiting their work.
