From Isolation to Creation: Artists Respond to a Changing World – Creative expression by artists and craftspeople is called for now more than ever, not only as well-needed beauty for the eye, but also comfort and inspiration for the heart and mind during troubling times. Throughout history it is the art and crafts of a culture that have not only reflected the time but also reflected upon the time, creating a record for future generations. In this exhibition, members of Herefordshire Art and Craft Society (HACS) give their response to a rapidly changing world through multimedia pieces including painting, photography, film and audio, sculpture as well as text. For more information and to view the exhibition visit herefordshireartandcraft.org.uk
