ARTISTS from around the Salisbury and Southampton areas have joined forces to launch an exciting new pop-up gallery space in Southampton city centre.
Bringing together 22 artists in a large-scale exhibition space, and featuring a wide variety of contemporary artwork across different media and genres, the Monkey Gallery is in an empty retail unit at 14-15 Hanover Buildings, formerly occupied by Santander.
The venture was conceived to connect together Hampshire and Wiltshire artists.
It was dreamt up by the Inovate Productions partnership of painter Kate Buttimer, from Woodfalls in Wiltshire, and photographer Vicky Slater, who lives in Salisbury.
Vicky said: “We’ve had such amazing support from the locals for this gallery that we already feel part of the community.
“We want everyone to feel able to visit us and have a look at the work or come and have a chat with the artists. Hopefully people will leave with a smile and a little inspiration.”
The gallery will be open daily from Thursday to Sunday until December 22. Opening times are from 10am until 4pm.
