Celebrating Quay Arts’ 40th Birthday! Hooray!

Little did we know 40 years ago, Quay Arts was to become the Island’s leading art centre and support thousands of local, national and international visual artists, to create exciting and engaging work – free for all of the Island’s residents and visitors to see!

To celebrate, we invited children from Isle of Wight Primary Schools to help create our largest ever postcard exhibition ‘WE ARE 40’ by drawing what they’d like to be when they’re 40. They were asked to write, draw, stitch, stick or paint onto an A6 postcard. The results are creative, imaginative and extraordinary! Over 700 postcards will be on display by 17 Primary Schools.

Visitors to the exhibition are also invited to create their own ‘WE ARE 40’ inspired postcard in the gallery on Saturday 18th June, 1 - 4pm for our FREE Family Drop-in as part of Children’s Art Week.

Gallery open: Mon – Sat, 10am – 4pm.
