To celebrate the gallery’s 25th year, we are delighted to present a special Anniversary Exhibition – ‘Making Memories’. 18 artists who have been significant to Flow’s evolution will be participating in a group show. Some artists first showed with the gallery in its early years; others brought new directions in recent times.

Each artist was commissioned to make new pieces specially for the exhibition, centred around the theme of Memory. Taking ideas of memory into their own direction and interpreting the theme in different mediums seeks to reflect the multitudinous ways in which we remember, reminisce and relive.

We are pleased to announce the participating artists:
