This exhibition is a collection of artworks in which artists, from students to hobbyists to professionals, have submitted work that reflects their experience of lockdown in the form of portraiture. Artists can portray feelings in portraits that they find difficult to convey in words, such as love for others, difficult emotions and challenging experiences. Art can be the ultimate form of therapy, a way to clear our heads, put our thoughts in order and find out more about ourselves.

A showcase exhibition featuring Rachel Cronin and Sue Clayton, our two winners from the 2019 Open Selected show. Rachel, winner of the 2D category will be exhibiting a new body of work and Sue Clayton will be exhibiting a wide selection of her pottery that she has created over a number of years.
