Key Exhibitions

Shape It

12 Jaunary - 4 March 2012

Shape It is an interactive exhibition that presents visitors with a chance to explore colour, shape and pattern. Through viewing works from The Wallace Art Trust Collection that show defined shapes and patterns, visitors will be given the opportunity to respond and collectively make an artwork by applying stickers onto a wooden board.

This collaborative process references the organic nature of patterns found in the biological world.

Twenty Years of Winners
