Blackpool Art Fayre

28 Jan-18 Mar 2017

Overview

The Grundy begins 2017 with the Blackpool Art Fayre, in which the gallery plays the role of civic host, lifting the lid on artistic activity happening in the town and along the Fylde Coast. The exhibition will include displays from a number of arts organisations in the town including the recently formed Abingdon Studios and also the Blackpool Art Society, which dates back more than 125 years. Joining these displays will be an open exhibition for residents of the Fylde Coast and a room dedicated to schools, in which pupils have been set the challenge of creating new designs and drawings inspired from illustrations for 1930s designs of neon from the Illuminations archive.
