A Sandown-themed arts exhibition is coming to Quay Arts in Newport today (Saturday).

Between 2019 to 2022, and with support from Arts Council England, Boojum&Snark commissioned a range of artists to create work which delves into the Bay area.

The craft beer taproom, which opened in 2019 and is based on Sandown High Street, worked with creative practitioners and the local community on a series of projects.

Just the Place brings the artwork together into one showcase at Quay Arts.

Tracy Mikich, co-founder of Boojum&Snark, said: “Just the Place is really a celebration of Sandown, the community, creative practitioners, supporters and participants who have helped to conjure unique cultural content that weaves threads of Sandown into the present.

"Too often Sandown falls in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons but our projects highlight what a truly unique and inspiring place it really is.” 

Just the Place presents outcomes from six distinct projects and commissions led by eight artists with participation from members of the public.

The creative practitioners whose work is featured in the exhibition are: Teresa Grimaldi, Sarah Vardy, Lauren Fry, Sapphire Goss, Claire Speight, Maggie Sawkins, Enzo and Kathy Williams.

The artwork has previously been exhibited on the walls and in the windows of Boojum&Snark over the past three years.

The free exhibition is being held today, to Saturday April, 8.
