the inaugural group exhibition at the new Melhop Gallery º7077
This exhibition shows the artists’ responses to the idea of “shelter”
Shelter is a group show by all 9 artists, encompassing their personal responses to the idea of home, safety and shelter. Quite frankly a subject deeply pertinent to the odd and untoward changes we have all been experiencing globally the last 9 months of 2020. Shelter runs until 31 January 2021.
