Community Through a Screen - Open Call Exhibition for 16 - 30 year olds, Curated by Orla Davey
24th October - 9th November 2026
Opening event: Saturday 24th October 2026 15:00 - 17:00
This exhibition invites young people to display art related to fandoms, digital communities, pop culture and subcultures. The exhibition, curated by Orla Davey, is making an argument for more internet culture representation within museum and art gallery institutions. Calling for art, cosplay and shared memories, the work in this exhibition sheds a light on how young people find kinship through internet culture, and use fandoms to find their communities.
Back To The Market: by Cecily Loveys Jervoise, Graham Taylor and Jessica Akerman
Saturday 14th November - Saturday 19th December 2026
Opening Event: Saturday 14th November 2026 15:00 - 17:00
Supported by The National Lottery Heritage Fund, our three commissioned artists in our Back To The Market project, Cecily Jervoise, Graham Taylor and Jessica Akerman, have been making work inspired by the heritage of Barnstaple Pannier Market, concentrating on three key areas of research: Oswald Mosley's talk that took place in Barnstaple Pannier Market in 1934, Jeremy Thorpe's wedding reception that took place in Barnstaple Pannier Market in 1968, and The Beggar's Opera written in 1728 by John Gay who was born in Barnstaple. These three topics will be used to investigate a range of contemporary issues in North Devon and beyond.
