Sponsored feature for Wayfarers Shopping Arcade by Stand Up For Southport
An art gallery and shop in Southport is inviting people to a special event where they can meet local artists.
Gallery More, inside Wayfarers Shopping Arcade on Lord Street in Southport town centre, will host ‘Bringing Art And Community Together’ from 2.30pm this Saturday (9th November 2024).
It will be an exclusive opportunity to celebrate the artists behind the Gallery More collection.
Visitors will be able to enjoy live demonstrations, discussions, complimentary refreshments, and connect with fellow art lovers.
Admission is free, with people welcome to call in.
Owner and artist Deborah Flynn said: “We wanted to be able to connect art lovers in our community with local artists, and celebrate their work.
“We host works from a variety of artists in Gallery More with very different styles, working across a variety of media.
“Shoppers can come in here and they can buy artwork, pottery, ceramics, textiles, silkscreen printing, photography, handmade journals and cards, woodprints and more.
“It is going to be a really interesting day and a wonderful opportunity to meet some very talented, creative people.
“We are looking forward to having around 10 artists here with us.
“Local artist Steve Rigby will be doing demonstrations, and others may also be doing something similar.
“It is an open event, so everyone is welcome to come and join us.”
Gallery More, which also offers a quality picture framing service, was previously based above the ArtHouse Gallery on Eastbank Street.
Owner and artist Deborah Flynn was keen to expand her creative business and thought the 126-year-old Victorian era Wayfarers Shopping Arcade was the perfect place to welcome customers.
She has lived in locations including Valencia in Spain and Bath in England, but feels right at home in Southport.
Wayfarers Shopping Arcade is fast becoming a real creative hub for the town, with local sculptor David Booth well established, local artist Ruth Ryder establishing a new studio on the first floor, regular pop-up shops by Sefton Artists and a variety of creative events held regularly.
Taking up the new mantle ‘Studio and Shop’, Deborah offers a product / service concept where the customer experience is just as important as the product and service itself.
Gallery More is more than a quality, open plan, bespoke framers.
It is also a welcoming environment where you can view a small number of carefully curated artworks and artist materials as well as meet Deborah and chat about your framing needs in a friendly and safe space.
