Gold

Montsalvat, Long Gallery
TAM artists are celebrating all things Gold! From the early morning rise of the sun, full of promise and optimism, fields of gold that bring prosperity and security, and glistening waters at sunset, the golden hues within our world warm our souls and fill us with joy.  Within the arts, gold has inspired many. From golden idols fit for the gods, magical golden hours and illuminated manuscripts, to legends and fairy tales and the elusive pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Gold can be a symbol of affection or commitment between loved ones, a treasured possession passed down through generations or used simply as adornment, bringing sparkle to the everyday.   Join us as we explore the glittery, beautiful, and sometimes OTT, golden world around us. Artwork “Maggie” by Alison Tippett

The Mother Hood

RED Gallery – Gallery 3
The village may be gone, but we still have the hood. The Mother Hood is about more than motherhood; it encompasses all that it means to be a mother within the broader context of our culture and community. It represents a transformative, transcendent personal experience that germinates deep emotional and social connections. The journey of motherhood is not one that is travelled alone: it is shared. In solidarity, we rise. As a group of artists, TAM are united in our commitment to exploring the transformative experience of motherhood, kinship, and community. Our art is a celebration of the complex emotions, deep love, and powerful resilience that define both the mother and the hood. This exhibition is an homage to the strength, beauty, and resilience of anyone identifying as a mother, and the enduring power of human connection.

Momentum

Montsalvat, Long Gallery
Our world is constantly changing; expanding, contracting, moving, aging, decaying and birthing. To remain unchanged in a changing universe is a tragedy. We are not meant to stay the same, to stay in one place, to remain unaffected. Our lives are works of art that are never fully complete. An exhibition inspired by movement.
