This group show at Tremenheere Gallery will contain around fifty works by the NSA’s nationally and internationally recognised artists. They will embrace all media, ranging from painting, drawing and print, to film, sculpture and 3D installation. And visitors should expect the unexpected! The Newlyn Society of Artists is known for its commitment to pushing the boundaries of creative expression: recent exhibitions have explored the possibilities of augmented reality and virtual experience.

Julia Giles, Chair of the NSA, said ‘We asked Poet Katrina Naomi to suggest the theme of the show and I hope that visitors will enjoy our responses to a poet’s challenge. I’m looking forward to seeing what the perspective of a poet will bring to the process of putting the show together’.

‘I always really enjoy what NSA does… so to be invited to write in response to the spring NSA show is very exciting. Line breaking vitally distinguishes poetry from prose. It leads to disruption and surprise. These feel like good issues for visual artists to be responding to…’. Katrina Naomi

Katrina will give the first reading of the specially commissioned poem to mark this landmark collaboration, followed by a short talk. This Penzance based poet is due to publish her fourth full collection, ‘Battery Rocks, in July 2024.

Five artists will be talking about their work at the gallery on Saturday April 6th 2.00 till 3.30 and Katrina will be making her presentation on Sunday April 14th 2.20 till 3.00. Please book on Eventbrite. Entry to the gallery and tickets are free.
