Pure Art360 2021: Edition 2

Meet the team

ARTSPRING GALLERY

This exciting artist-run gallery brings together a collection of high quality work by contemporary artists who are specialists in their disciplines and showcases Paintings, Watercolour, Printmaking, Photography, Digital Art, Ceramics, Glass and Jewellery.

Exhibitions of work by the artist members and invited guests change every two months and there is always something new to discover in this gem of a gallery.

ArtSpring has been a presence on Tonbridge High Street for nearly five years and is now well-established in the community. Members have built a reputation for a friendly and welcoming space where visitors can rely on one of the artists always being present to chat informally about the work on display. A recent guest artist, ceramicist Liz Emtage, says: ‘There is nothing quite as magical as working with a good team of people. There is passion and enjoyment here and their set up is so professional and organised.’

A resurgence of community involvement has been one of the features of the past year. This is no less true at ArtSpring Gallery where charitable contributions from sales have contributed to the new emerging ‘Kindness Economy’ – as labelled by the queen of the High Street, Mary Portas. Beneficiaries since April 2020 have included NHS Charities Together, West Kent Mind, Porchlight and particularly Young Minds UK who received £300 from the very successful Open ArtEscape Exhibition held in October 2020. This exhibition featured work by 30 Kent artists, selected from over 100 entries.

Another Open submission exhibition is being planned forthe Autumn, so look out for a Call to enter this exhibitionopportunity for Kent-based artists.
