The Fish Factory is part sponsoring the Skin Deep Exhibition at the Worthing Museum and Art Gallery which runs until August.  We are happy to help this exhibition as we think its excellent for Worthing. We will be helping out with the catering and providing champagne etc.  You can come and see us there on 12th March.

What is the Skin Deep Exhibition all about?

The Sussex Road Group (SRG) was set up in 2008 by Dudley Sawer, a designer. Working from the Sidney Walter Centre in Worthing, the SRG group gave local people the chance to draw and paint the human figure using a live model.  A wide variety of students attended the ten week courses and day workshops – from beginners to professionals.

The exhibition being held at Worthing Museum and Art Gallery was formed because some members of the SRG group were drinking coffee and lamenting that there was nowhere big enough in Worthing where they could show their work. Paula Fraser-Bergin volunteered to do something about it.

The following day, Paula spoke to Emma the Curator at Worthing Museum who suggested we put an application in to hold an exhibition. After a couple of follow up meetings, the exhibition was sorted.  It takes place from 13th March to 28th August 2010 and it will be opened by the Mayor of Worthing. There will be about 100 works of art on show which are sure to  capture the public’s attention!  These include paintings, drawings, and 3D work.

The theme  SKIN DEEP has enabled the artists to explore a theme that connects to the human figure. Each artist gives a very individual interpretation as you can see from the photo below.

We look forward to meeting you there.
