Honoring the legacy of Emmy Bridgwater, the great surrealist artist and poet who called Solihull home, this vibrant outdoor exhibition brings together newly commissioned works of 30 talented artists from Solihull and the West Midlands. Bridgwater’s own bold visions shaped British surrealism, and in her spirit, each artist has created a fresh, new work on the theme of ‘Surreal’, inviting you to see the familiar in unexpected ways.
This exhibition will be running in Solihull Town Centre from 7th March - May, with a further 3 months, June - August, in a location to be decided.
Supported by the West Midlands Combined Authority’s Commonwealth Games Legacy Fund
