Pattern

1 November - 31 January 2020In this group show contemporary Native American artists explore the recurring presence of pattern in Indigenous cultures. Drawing inspiration from nature and traditional art forms such as pottery, weaving, porcupine quillwork, beadwork and textiles they each create contemporary works on paper or canvas that incorporate pattern in intriguing ways. From minimalistic elements in natural tones to vibrant kaleidoscopic creations this visually exciting and culturally rich exhibition is a feast for the eyes and nourishing for the soul.

Please join us in welcoming Jordan and Marla to Bristol, view the wonderful winter exhibition, enjoy a glass of mulled apple juice and indulge in some relaxed Christmas shopping.

See you on Thursday!
