In 2021, an 'artist in residence' opportunity, which accompanied Rich's Fleeting World exhibition at Side Gallery, created a compelling need for Rich to explore the circle and all this holistic symbol represents. In addition, at that time, Rich had several conversations with fellow artisans from diverse disciplines of practice. These conversations led to the idea of undertaking explorations with collaborators, a vehicle to challenge and test current thinking and move right out of his comfort zone. This journey evolved into the exhibition Spirits in Alliance.

We are delighted to celebrate the opening of Rich Allen's latest exhibition, Spirits in Alliance. Join us Thursday, 3 August, from 6.00 pm for opening night drinks.
On Saturday, 5 August, at 10.30 am, Rich and fellow artisans will join curator Laura Brinin in the gallery to chat about this collaborative body of work.
