Exhibition launch
More than 100 people were in attendance on Friday 22nd November, to witness the dazzling display of talent at the launch of the art exhibition 'Array of light' - curated by 'The Arts Project' at St Pancras hospital.
This lively celebration featured music and live artwork from The Camden Women Art Collective, a group whose pieces reflect themes of identity, resilience, and the beauty of everyday life.
Peter Herbert, the curator of the Arts Project said: "We decided to go for a smaller exhibition with six local Camden artists. They have worked together so well as a team, and it's been a real pleasure and has resulted in a very fine exhibition."
