“From a title of Elsewhere it would be interesting to discover where such a word drives your thoughts, memories, vision and verse?”
That was the question posed by Veronica and the result is a published book available now from Studio 36.
Elsewhere features the artwork, poetry and prose of 33 friends of Studio 36 and Veronica herself. It can be obtained from Studio 36 during your visit for £10 or by contacting us if you would like it posted (we will add the p+p).
Announcing our Sketch It! exhibition during March and the Creative Integration day on 5th April. We hope you can come to these exciting events!
On Saturday we had, with Inclusive Exeter, an introductory meeting with many migrants, now known as New Exonians. The enthusiasm of getting our different cultural approaches together towards a lively and interesting exhibition in the Spring was very rewarding.
An encouraging start to 2025!
We’re busy preparing our next board featuring work by 21st Exeter Scouts on the Chinese New Year. In the meantime the present board is still hosting great pictures from HMP Exeter. Don’t forget to let us have any positive comments as it is nice for the artists to get feedback.
And the kiln fires on!
Thanks to the many who came to an enjoyable Sunday at Studio 36 on November 24th!
Work by Ardyn Griffin, Clive Hurman, Uschi Arens-Price, Steven Bramble and Veronica Gosling was on show. Joelle and friends ran the café, serving tea, cakes and a variety of soups. Joe Skivington and Peter Farrie played live music.
We had a very well-attended finale of our Think Chair exhibition in fine weather on Sunday featuring live music from the Plum Jam Jazz Quintet, Peter Nickol and Peter Farrie. Mary Bramble was here with her children’s trail and Joelle served tea and delicious food in the café.
Many thanks to everyone who came and made it such a fun event and also many thanks from Age UK Exeter whose Budding Friends project you donated to.

“Art has so many benefits. Culturally it enriches us. It can make us think deeply about things (Picasso’s Guernica speaks to us of the horror of war in a far more visceral way than, say, a news report for example) or Monet’s Water Lilies gives us tranquillity and connects us with nature and the restorative powers of a beautiful garden.
Art can bring communities together and give those who go unheard in society a voice…
