As part of the Rotherham Open Arts Festival the 1st of November saw the Old Market Gallery swing its doors open on the new ‘Rotherham Roots’ exhibition featuring some ruddy awesome local talent in the form of Michael Latimer and Pete McKee.
The collection includes work from many local artists in the form of installations and sculptures as well as prints and paintings. Alongside illustrious work will be a ‘Schools Gallery’ as the festival has been working with local schools to place artists with them and produce works on the concept of ‘Rotherham Roots’.
Don’t worry if you’re not in a school in Rotherham though! The exhibition is open for the whole of November and is free to attend – well worth the trip to we reckon.
Just wondering if you have seen my work in this exhibition, I have spoken to Ben from your Now Then team of workers and he mentioned that it may be possible for me to get involved in showing some of my work in your magazine. Please contact me via email if you would like to know more about me.
I’m based at Bloc Studios and hail from Sheffield. I have been a practiceing artist for the past 10 years and hosted both solo and group exhibitions some of which were hosted by galleries such as the Old Sweet Shop and Archipelago in Sheffield. I will soon to be exhibiting in a solo exhibition in Slovakia in the new year. My work is so varied in media that the audience have thought that the work has been made by different artists! I have a facebook page under liz von graevenitz art work, if you would like to gain a rough idea of some of the work I have made.
