Contemporary Ceramics Exhibition
15th – 28th November 2021
We are pleased to announce our first exhibition dedicated entirely to ceramics. Featuring works by invited makers from across the UK.
A Long Line
March 2022
A solo exhibition by Elizabeth Griffiths. Elizabeth was the ‘People’s Choice Award’ winner from our 2019 Open exhibition ‘Unity’.
Elizabeth’s mixed media work explores and complements the differences between the deliberate stitch and abstracted ink and paint, bringing dimension and texture to her work. ‘A Long Line’ is Elizabeth’s first solo exhibition here at GO. The works explore, extract and are inspired by three main pieces: a lockdown self-portrait, a family heirloom and an inkblot.
Polish Posters
Spring 2022
Film and theatre posters 1970s-1990s. Remarkable works by some of Poland’s most notable post-war artists. National and cultural resistance is seen underpinning the advertising design of these works.
We welcome visitors back to enjoy exhibitions, events, talks and classes in our upstairs gallery.
As we all continue to live with the pandemic, General Office is maintaining measures to ensure the safety of staff, studio tenants and visitors, including limited capacity, hand sanitisation and social distancing.
