Deck The Halls: LAUNCH PARTY

Conclave presents

Deck The Halls – THE LAUNCH PARTY
2nd December 2022,
6.00-10.30pm

To mark the launch of our DECK THE HALLS event, we’re having a party! Join us in the Conclave Basement to be the first to see the amazing exhibition of contemporary art on skate decks and celebrate the start of our skateboarding mini-festival.

Get to meet the artists, admire the artworks (and maybe snap up a pre-Christmas, preview bargain before everyone else!) and enjoy a drink whilst DJ Steve KIW (*Keep it Wheel…) gets on the other sort of wheels of steel to soundtrack our foray into youth culture, our fascination with the retro imagery and visual creativity that’s abundant in this urban activity.

The group show features 40 original works from 20 of Conclave’s artists, including:
Barrie J Davies / Beav-Art / Cassette Lord / Daniel Mortimer Skinner / Dave Pop! / Emma Holmes / Godzuki / J David Bennett / Jarvis Weaver / John Lymer / Leo Kember / Michelle Mildenhall / Mypenleaks / Phil Lawson / Sfelez / Skatin Chinchilla / Tiffany Crisp / Twydall P / Vicky Gomez / Victoria Kaplan
(+ a young artist guest will be showing their work as part of our collaboration with Portslade Aldridge Community Academy school)

Expect to see:
SPRAY-PAINT, STENCILLING, MIXED-MEDIA, CARVING, DRAWING, SCREEN-PRINTS, PAINTING, COLLAGE, SCULPTURE, GOLD-LEAF FINISHING, ASSEMBLAGE and more!

Here’s a little sneak peak at some of the works!
