RetrO - a go go!

New exhibition RetrO opened on Saturday, showcasing work from Ruth McLees, Ruth Singer, Mick Rafferty and Esther Patterson. With a distinct modern vintage look, the work is looking pretty groovy baby ;-)

Pop over to the exhibition pages on our website to view a short clip of the exhibition, and follow the links to read more about the artists and see their individual works.

Hanging out the washing in the gallery courtyard...

Not your usual washing line.... here at The Beetroot Tree, we do things a little differently!
Rather than sunbathing, Alysn has been dying (and over dying) a range of fabrics and fibres to sell in our Art Supplies shop and to take with her to shows and workshops.

Hand Dyed Cotton Scrim, Silk Fibres, Flax, Linen, Milk Protein, Silk Carrier Rods, Silk Waste and much much more are transformed from their natural tones to a rainbow of colours!
 
So, if you pop over for a drink or an ice cream from our
café and wish to sit in the courtyard... you may be sharing the space with the following.... enjoy!

...so many exhibitions...

I've just been looking through some of the thousands of photographs and videos that give a lasting record of our eclectic exhibitions over the last 12 years and it got me thinking....

What has been your favourite themed exhibition?  Which artist sticks in your mind? What inspired got you talking? What has inspired you to get creative?  What piece of artwork have you purchased and what is it that meant you couldn't live without it?

From the sumptuous array of textiles in our “Majitha” exhibitions to the shimmering jewellery showcased in “Heavy Metal Fragile Soul”.  With inspiring sculpture about “Memory” and evocative paintings displayed in “old Masters New Masters”.  I find it truly astounding to think of the vast number of artists The Beetroot Tree has worked with and the even larger amount of art works that have been made available to you, the viewer.
So, here's looking to the future!
