CCA Galleries International
Famous Art Festival Opens at the Gallery
20 - 27 June 2014
This June, CCA Galleries International celebrates the work of Jersey artists by hosting a taster exhibition for annual art festival, Skipton Open Studios.
Now in its seventh year, the exhibition at CCA Galleries International runs from the 20th to 27th June and will feature work from over 50 local artists. As well as the art exhibition, Yuri Toropstov, Archilse’s International Photographer in Residence will be offering folio critics and there will be a second chance to meet the Arts Trusts’ French Exchange artists Javier Belmont, Jérémy Bezard, Valérie Dechaume and Mélanie Lemaitre and view their latest Jersey inspired works.
During the festival, artists open their studios in the west of the Island from 28th to 29th June and in the east from 5th to 6th July giving the public an insight into how and where the work is produced, together with the inspirations and techniques involved.
In addition to this, CCA Galleries International is offering one participating artist the opportunity to have their work made into a print by sister company, ‘Coriander Studio’ based in London, which is now one of Europe’s longest established and most prolific producers of limited edition silkscreen prints, lithography and etching.
CCA Galleries International Managing Director, Gillian Duke says; ‘We are delighted to host this year’s festival and in turn support local art and culture. It is also a great opportunity for one local artist to have their work made into a print. Both CCA Galleries and Coriander Studio work together to produce limited editions with leading British contemporary artists including Sir Peter Blake, Dan Baldwin, Bruce McLean and Michael Craig Martin. ’
Skipton Open Studios Project Manager Sasha Gibb says; ‘This year’s exhibition is phenomenal and artists will be on hand throughout the week at CCA Galleries International to guide and advise visitors about their work.’
