Last years exhibition was excellent and well supported by Suffolk artists.This year there is recent work by John Kiki, whose drawings we have just installed in our new viewing room - Simon Carter, whose work we will have in September, as well as - Caroline Mackintosh, who we have just shown.
Summer Contemporary has been curated by Devi Singh, along with her team they have gathered together the participants for the exhibition. This is a six-week exhibition that includes work by artists and makers from across East Anglia. In spite of the adverse conditions there are for cultural activities in the UK at the moment, it serves as a reminder of the vibrancy among in the visual art scene in Suffolk.
