Without their support the arts available locally would be significantly reduced. And we thank them for it .

I love @bprojectspace and bet your show looked great there, Stuart. Looking forward to the next one!

[STUART SEMPLE @stuartsemple]

It feels like forever since I had a show. Everything got cancelled due to covid. But I'm deep into making a new series of things that I hope to show later this year. Meanwhile this was my last show At Bermondsey project Space, curated by me dear friend Lee Cavaliere.

Poole Harbour is made up of many different habitats, which in turn provides a stunning variety of bird life throughout the entire year.

Pick up your free guide when visiting the @harbourbirds Gallery Takeover to help you learn where the best places are to watch birds.

Great to enjoy the excellent exhibition in company with our friends @WiltshireMuseum and to see the refurbished @ArcWinchester
