Off The Cuff

The London Street Gallery is delighted to present as its inaugural show 'Off the Cuff', a reprise of the very successful NWRC show and a collaboration with established artists

We are delighted to be opening our The London St Gallery with Off The Cuff celebrating creative

and diverse interpretations by talented artists, inspired by the rich and heritage of the city’s shirt factory industry.

The exhibition is promoting the talent, creativity and ingenuity of Fashion Design and Media students from NWRC as well as featuring established artists: Tom Agnew, Louise Walsh, Bernie Murphy, Helen Heron , Anne Patterson and Margaret Crabtree. The Artists interpretations are as diverse as the media they use including textiles,Fashion Ceramics ,Drawing and Film as well as variety of mixed media.

All artists have reflected a sensitive, diverse and dynamic response to the shirt factory history. A unique opportunity to see Artists emerging and established sided by side, in what promises to be a vibrant and inclusive Gallery space
