Art on Our Doorstep

Co-curated as part of our Arts Council England-funded Unlocking Collections project, this exhibition reveals research produced by a team of volunteers. Through art made primarily by local people, they tell stories of Swindon, the places that define it, and the people who have lived here. Art on Our Doorstep: Unlocking Scenes of Wellbeing, Industry and Creativity in Swindon explores the ways in which themes of health, industry and creativity appear in artworks that have been in storage, or not previously displayed. These include new acquisitions by significant Swindon artists Harold Dearden and Paul Rudall.
