Winter Pop Up Art Shop returns to Metquarter for Christmas

Nov. 30, 2011 - PRLog -- The aim of the Pop Up Art Shop is to showcase local talent and allow people access to quality, interesting, affordable art for their homes and offices, in a friendly, non-gallery environment. Perfect for sourcing a unique Christmas gift for those hard to buy for loved ones!

Lucy Byrne from dot-art said, “The Pop up Art shops have been a huge success in 2011, and we are delighted to return in December with another group of hugely talented artists. I hope we can provide some inspiration to everyone struggling with their Christmas shopping, encourage people to buy something a bit different this year- and support local artists at the same time!”

Artwork to suit all tastes and pockets will be on display by over 20 artists, from limited edition prints from just £20, to large scale original paintings. Highlights include: Helene Gilmore's light-hearted new series of “Cupcake” paintings, stunning oils by Cheshire artist Andrew Kinmont who was recently selected for exhibition at the Royal Institute of Oil Painters, the highly sought after wildlife sculpture of Tony Evans and a wide range of locally themed limited edition prints.
The Pop-Up Art Shop is situated on the upper level of the Metquarter, next to Timberland.
