Inflame exhibition photos

Sue Newman says:

"I visited the Inflame exhibition organised by the group Love Streatham on Saturday and was really impressed by the time and thought that had gone into the selection and layout of the artwork, which was by local school children and residents, as well as some artists from further afield. The Run with the Fire digital exhibition formed part of the display. It was great to see it in action."

New community art initiative

We are excited and encouraged that the group of artists behind The Gathering are looking to create a piece of community art around the theme of Run with the Fire.

The Gathering was a contemporary art installation created as a Fringe event during the final week of the British Art Show 7 in Plymouth. It featured around 60 life-sized figures, created by community, church and school groups, to represent the millions whose lives have been transformed by one person. Just over two thousand years ago a comet, or star, moved across the eastern Mediterranean skies to herald the birth of a child. The Gathering reminded its participants of the significance of this historical moment for every individual and for the future of our planet. Over 400 people visited the installation during its brief three day appearance and the feedback was hugely encouraging to those involved.
