It’s the talk of the town; it’s the Window Gallery @ The Old Electric ⚡️ Since its installation in early September, we’ve had floods of comments and questions on our first exhibition of ceramics by the brilliant Mike Cassidy of @st_dio.dot ⭐

Taking centre stage of the window is FACELIFT, a work created in collaboration between @st_dio.dot and @marthapailing as part of her 2024 residency with us as part of the POWER PLAYS New Writing festival 💫

We’ll be rotating the gallery throughout the year, so make sure to check back regularly and see what we’ve got going on ✨
