Section of Alan Cracknell's art for the Re-imagining Exhibition

Winchester is rightly proud of its creative talent. Forty artists, mostly from the Winchester area, are taking part in an outstanding visual arts show located in three city galleries, to celebrate the founding, 900 years ago, of Hyde Abbey. A list of participating artists is attached.

Re-imagining Treasures of Hyde Abbey - A major contemporary art exhibition

Winchester Cathedral | Link Gallery, University of Winchester | City Space, Discovery Centre

Showing across three venues in Winchester variously through February to April is the contemporary art exhibition 'Re-imagining Treasures of Hyde Abbey'.

Inspired by the exhibition 'Treasures of Hyde Abbey' which runs concurrently in the Winchester Discovery Centre (6 March to 2 May) this extensive show brings together painting, sculpture, photography, glass, textiles, ceramics, metalwork, engraving, calligraphy and sound installations to offer a contemporary response to the idea of objects with a spiritual and historical significance.
