'All Over the Place' opening night

Come one come all to our next exhibition opening! 'All Over the Place: Drawing Place, Drawing Space' opens tomorrow evening from 6-8pm at SAB Gallery. Among the 17 artists involved, 4 are lecturers in the School of Design. All are inspired by the relationship between space/place and drawing - with varied resulting images.







Hope to see you tomorrow, and if not, the show is on until 23 October 2010.
