LEAN | TO

LEAN | TO features artist Steve Baxter’s background thinking and making processes in preparation for LIVING | ROOM.

Sat 11 January – Sun 16 February

Sat 11th Jan – Sun 16th Feb

This exhibition gives insight into the background makings and thinking behind LIVING | ROOM on display in our West Gallery from Dec 7th – Jan 25th. Steve previously featured sculptural work at Quay Arts Biennial OPEN 2023 Exhibition: The Art of Sculpture, from which he was awarded this solo West Gallery exhibition.

LEAN | TO features Steve’s background thinking and making processes in preparation for LIVING | ROOM.

The LEAN | TO is a set of images, forms and writing that are installed together to make sense of and give insight into the process of my making art. This is the squad of players from which a first team is chosen from. No less important, crucial for underpinning success and each bringing individual contributions.” – Steve Baxter

The Secret Library

Use your imagination to find The Secret Library during IW Story Festival, a magical place full of tales and wonder, where you can ignite the story inside you. 

Thu 20 February – Sat 22 February

Thu 20th Feb – Sat 22nd Feb

Ever wondered where those little knick-knacks come from and what their real purpose is? Here’s your chance to write your own story about the teeny-tiny washing drying on a line, or the antique microscope or the man in the hot air balloon dangling from the ceiling. 

Allergy advice: natural materials used in this setting, including nut shells.

This exhibition is part of the IW Story Festival, which will have a workshop taking place in the exhibition on Friday 21st February. But the Secret Library exhibition will be free entry and open to all during the afternoons, where you might bump into a Story Festival author who is telling a story. You can use the space to sit and write or draw too. 

The IW Story Festival is taking place at Quay Arts from February 20th – 22nd, find out more HERE.

Even a little money can make a big difference at Quay Arts

However, the generosity of our supporters goes beyond sales of food, drink and theatre tickets. Gifts of money, time, and even specific items make a huge difference to the amount of work we can do. Together, we can continue to enrich the lives of islanders and visitors with our fantastic programme of events.
