Be captivated by the work of talented Isle of Wight artists at ‘Just the Place’ exhibition

Last updated:

Following on from the brilliant Creative Biosphere exhibition in the West Gallery at Quay Arts, comes another equally fantastic showcase.

Running until Saturday 8th April, Just the Place is an exhibition celebrating three years of Boojum&Snark’s cultural and creative projects.

The artwork, which shines a spotlight on Sandown and explores the role of ‘placemaking’ in Sandown, has previously been exhibited on the walls and in the windows of Boojum&Snark at some point in the last three years.

What is Boojum&Snark?
Boojum&Snark opened in 2019 and is a regeneration project located in a former long-standing empty High Street shop.

It mashes together a love for craft beer, community and culture.
