I AM WHO I WAS WHEN I WAS TEN - COURT HOUSE ART GALLERY
Making art as if you were ten again. As you get older, fewer and fewer things seem new to you - except in art. Making art is a challenge that never gives way and never runs out of things to discover.
This exhibition celebrates the accelerating development of practice that can occur in artists after a long life of concentrating on other things. Each of the seven artists featured in this exhibition is finding life renewed by art.
Until 11 January. More info here.
