Fire & Frost 4

7 December 2020– 8 January 2021

New Kent Art Gallery & Studio would like to announce their Fire & Frost exhibition opens on December 8th - an annual pre-Christmas celebration of art, with all our favourite artists and makers.

Artists from across Kent join together to bring some festive cheer to the gallery at the end of what has been a very difficult year. It is a well known fact that art is extremely beneficial to peoples' well-being and mental health. This year, the gallery will be showing virtual tours of the exhibition on their website and social media pages. Following previous lockdowns, it is now part of our regular exhibition schedule to feature videos, tours and updates online for anyone who is isolating or having to quarantine. 

You can also buy work direct from their website or message the gallery to arrange delivery or a click and collect service. There will be stunning pieces by Anthony Giles, Carl Scarlett, Sue Fields, Darren Lewis, Emily Tull, Karen H-King, Sarah Stokes, Julie Tucker-Williams and many more. 

''It is so important for us to continue to support and champion local artists and makers who have found 2020 to be exceptionally challenging, with many of the normal art fairs and exhibitions having to close. We would like to thank all the wonderful people who have continued to enjoy our shows and embrace the virtual world of art, as well as buy direct and commission pieces. Supporting your local businesses and creative talent is absolutely vital during these times.

Fire & Frost is the perfect exhibition to find something unique and beautiful and hand crafted for Christmas, bringing together work in glass, ceramic, paintings, prints, sculpture, photography and jewellery. Kent made work by Kent based artists from all creative fields is what we love to exhibit and feel blessed to be surrounded by such amazing talent.''
