‘Colour, Light, Sound, Silence’
by Marcus Vergette & Simon Marsh
Two artists, friends since art school in the 1980s, reunite for the first time in a joint exhibition exploring the elemental forces of light, sound, colour, and texture.
Marcus Vergette creates sculptural bells that speak to time, climate, and community.
Simon Marsh paints and builds fragile constructions inspired by the vivid light of West Cornwall.
Experience painting, sculpture, sound, and reflection — where art meets energy.

The Paper Quilt
The Paper Quilt Project is a living exhibition in which a community art piece is created while on display in the gallery.
Beginning as a room of blank paper, the artwork will slowly evolve as individuals fill their square in artist-led workshops. Reflecting on themes of fragility, survival, belonging, and home, the paper quilt represents the strength in connecting with one another. 11th April - 19 September 2026
