11 May – 15 June: Making a Point, East Anglian Textiles exhibition
This exhibition explores a variety of themes from purses and pockets to the brashness of graffiti art. There will be a profusion of vintage fabrics recycled from household furnishings, and colourful knitted sculptural creations. Drawing from language and number systems, nature, history and landscape, the group will present a myriad of forms, shapes, textures, print and stitch techniques. They will stretch the use of textiles and challenge traditional perceptions of them.

The members of EAST are committed to the continued development of textile work, its recognition and its full participation in the established art scene. This exhibition is featured as part of Stroud International Textiles (SIT) Spring Select programme.
Cost: Entry to the museum’s temporary exhibition space is free.

22 June – 20 July 2013: Cotswold Open Studios Hidden Treasures 2013
A collaborative showcase exhibition of the artists and makers taking part in Cotswold Open Studios weekend, 29th − 30th June 2013. These ‘hidden   treasures’ are professional artists, makers, sculptors and designers in and around Cirencester.

The artists are called ‘hidden treasures’ because many of them have international reputations, yet locals would rarely get the chance to engage with what they do. This showcase exhibition is a wonderful opportunity to enjoy one piece of work by each of the participants of the Open Studios weekend.

This exhibition is a celebration of achievement of all that is created around Cirencester in the Cotswolds. Many of these artists let the land near their studio speak to them, whilst others take their inspiration from text, film, music or the animal kingdom. All of them are keeping the Arts and Crafts tradition alive in this wonderful part of England.
Cost: Entry to the temporary exhibition space is free
