Thank you to everyone who came to our 'Next Wave' closing party this evening. The show has been sponsored by Galliard Homes and Apsley House Capital, and the artworks were selected by Annette Pugh ARBSA, Caroline Ali RBSA, and Rob Hamp NWA. This project would not have been possible without the generosity of the sponsors, enthusiasm of the curators, and artwork by the artists. We hope everyone who has taken part has enjoyed the experience and look forward to welcoming the last surge of visitors before the show closes at 5pm tomorrow.
