This event has ended.

The forging of friendships between artists has long been a good basis for osmosis. All the more so when they live within close proximity of each other. The collection of work seleceted for this exhibition developed through a shared dialog between a group of artist whom have lived near each other & shared conversations, afternoon coffee, beer & studio visits over a number of years together.
