7x7  a Wivenhoe Retrospective   

Since May 2002, the Wivenhoe Bookshop has had the extra joy of the Over-the-Sofa gallery. 

Every single month since then we have exhibited a different artist. All our artists have been local and nearly all based in Wivenhoe. As we are the only permanent gallery space in Wivenhoe this has been popular with local residents and artists alike. We all know Wivenhoe is such a creative community but the continuing interest in local artists proves the need for this space.  

We therefore feel it is time for a celebration of both the continuing success of the Over-the-Sofa gallery as well as the installation of new lighting specifically for the gallery space. This celebration will take the form of a launch party for the lights and a month long retrospective of the artists we have shown up to November 2003.  

The retrospective will take on a particularly interesting form as we have the difficulty of fitting a large number of works in a small space. We therefore decided to theme the exhibition by limiting the size of the work the artists can submit to 7x7, then there will be an exhibition of works all of no more than 7x7 inches in size, which has the added bonus of making great little Christmas gifts of original artwork.
