An opening night to celebrate this year's Blue Monkey Network exhibition, Printworks, to be held at the Emma Mason Gallery.
Come along and see the show, meet some of the exhibiting artists and have a chat.
An informal event with a short introduction by gallery director Emma Mason & Blue Monkey Network Director Nikki Davidson-Bowman at 6.30 pm. Drinks & light refreshments will be provided.
Printworks explores the diverse languages of printmaking, revealing how Blue Monkey Network artists leave their mark—both physically and conceptually—through a variety of printing techniques, materials, and experiments. The exhibition is the result of a members’ only open call where artists were invited to submit works that included some form of printmaking. Final works have been selected by the Masons and curated by the Blue Monkey Network Events Team.
Blue Monkey would like to thank the Emma Mason Gallery for providing the opportunity to exhibit in the gallery and for their ongoing support of the network.
The exhibition is open from Thursday 7th – Sunday 10th August 11.00 am – 5.00 pm and Thursday 14th – Sunday 17th August 11.00 am – 5.00 pm.
If you are planning on attending one of our events and have any access needs, please let us know in advance.
Blue Monkey Network is run by artists for artists, in partnership with Towner Eastbourne, and is entirely funded by membership subscriptions and donations. Many thanks to all our supporters.

Printworks Show – Lucky Dip Walk & Talk

For our August event we will be meeting at the Emma Mason Gallery in Eastbourne to surround ourselves in work by our members at this year's Blue Monkey Network exhibition, Printworks. Network director Nikki Davidson-Bowman will lead us around the exhibition with a Lucky Dip Walk & Talk. On the night, exhibiting artists’ names will be selected from a hat and given a limited time to talk about their work in the exhibition. We will ring a bell to stop the speaker and then move on to the next one!
This will give members and guests an opportunity to find out more about the works in the exhibition and the processes used as well as giving artists the opportunity to speak succinctly about their work.
Refreshments will be provided, and all are welcome.
