:the mezzanine: gallery space
The upstairs space of the Old Butter Factory : the mezzanine : has a reverence and luminosity that has to experienced to be truly understood. Taking a fresh approach to displaying fine art, the beautiful pared back walls of the space form a raw and earthy backdrop to the art. Stunning windows flood the space with natural light, its softness a beautiful compliment to the subject matter. The mesmerizing energy from downstairs sets the mood and provides the perfect entry point.
Together with artist and curator, Michelle Bowden, Entangle – living art often plays host to a handful of talented artists each month. Group exhibitions are themed; art-works are carefully curated.
Solo exhibitions also take place on :the mezzanine:
Submissions for Solo exhibitions or to take part in our curated and themed group exhibitions can be made via the "contact us" page. Please provide links with examples of your work.
:the mezzanine: is open 10 – 4pm, Wednesday - Sunday
