MIGRATION, An Exhibition of Printmaking and Glass – Friday 30 October to Saturday 14 November

The forces that compel migration are powerful, complex and far-reaching. The stories that describe migrations – whether of creatures or humans – are intricate, beautiful and often heartbreaking. For this exhibition, fourteen printmakers and glass artists from the Forest of Dean and surrounding areas have created work responding to this theme.

The exhibition is open from 10.00 am to 4.00 pm daily from Friday 30 October to Saturday 14 November, excluding Sundays and Mondays. Admission is free, and a lift is available to the Gallery if required.

EVENTS
Events held during the exhibition enable visitors to meet the artists, listen to talks and music or share a meal and discuss the theme of Migration in its broadest sense. For more information, and to book tickets, please follow the links to the individual event pages
