Saturday Gallery Art Club
Hearing Loop
Saturday Gallery Art Club is your opportunity to get creative, explore art hands-on, and take inspiration from our latest exhibitions to create your own work
Open to everyone, each session is supported by our friendly Learning Team as they hold the space for you to work independently or with your friends and family.
With all materials provided, you get the opportunity to create in whatever medium you find most interesting or exciting. This includes paints, clay, drawing materials, printmaking, collage, and more. Either take up something you already enjoy or try something completely new!
The Art Club will be focussed on ‘Jemisha Maadhavji: I Dream From Where You Are‘. Based in Leicester, Jemisha draws on the vibrancy of her neighbourhood. Sari shops, hand-embroidered and block-printed textiles, and Indian confectioners are inspirations for her artwork due to their vivid colour and intricate patterns. Working primarily in oil, her practice explores identity, fashion, and representation. Inspired by luxury interiors and design, Jemisha places her sitters within imagined spaces composed of floral wallpapers, contrasting textiles, and blocks of bold colour.
Every session is free with booking required, however drop-ins are welcome. There is no pressure to attend every week or all of the sessions, just join in whenever you want to. The upcoming Saturday dates are:
