To celebrate the official opening of its doors, Wester Gallery is launching its first-ever showcase this week with a slew of Newcastle’s finest artists. The independent gallery, which first announced its launch earlier this year, will host the ‘At A Glance: The Beginning’ exhibition this Friday (July 1), displaying the work of Ileigh Hellier, Liz Pike and Nick Barlow, among others.
Elsewhere, the group show is comprised of fellow artists Nick Fintan, Kimberly Swan, Mila Knight, Giorgia Bel and Justin Lees, who will all adorn the gallery’s as-yet untouched walls for the inaugural event. The exhibition spotlights both emerging and established artists, with a catalogue that ranges from abstract landscape to mixed media works.
