TEXTILE ART UNPICKED
An exclusive, day-long exploration of three unique exhibitions
Join curators Cat Gibbard from Newlyn Art Gallery & The Exchange, and Joe Lyward from Hweg for the day and explore the vibrant world of textile art with an exclusive, day-long exploration of three unique exhibitions.
This is a rare opportunity to enjoy an intimate, behind-the-scenes look at contemporary textile art across three inspiring venues. With a limited group size, you’ll have the chance to engage directly with curators and an artist, gaining personal insights and a deeper understanding of the works. Whether you’re a textile enthusiast or curious to explore this medium, this day promises a rich blend of creativity, conversation, and connection.
Through guided discussions, you’ll uncover the intricate stories behind each textile work, with special insights from the curators and exhibiting artist Siobhan McLaughlin at Hweg.
The day will begin with coffee and cake at Newlyn Art Gallery, followed by a tour of Social Fabric, where exhibition curator Cat will share her inspiration for the show, along with the themes and ideas behind the works exhibited.
Then we’ll take an invigorating walk to Joe’s art space, Hweg, on Causewayhead in Penzance where you’ll meet exhibiting artist Siobhan McLaughlin.
This will be followed by a short walk down to The Exchange for the second half of Social Fabric, and more insights from Cat.
After a light lunch in the Gallery Café, we’ll travel together by train to Tate St Ives where we’ll walk and talk our way through the work of Romani artist and activist Małgorzata Mirga-Tas.
£70 per person, booking essential.
This will be a small group, so places are limited.
Entrance to Newlyn Art Gallery, The Exchange, Tate St Ives, return train fare to St Ives, morning refreshments and lunch are all included in the ticket price.
