Three Counties Open Art Exhibition 2026

Fenton Town Hall

Join Kwanzaa Collective UK for a unique artist-led journey through the Three Counties Open Art Exhibition as part of our first Open Lates event, Emotion / Response.

In this specially curated experience, four artists will present original creative responses to selected artworks featured in the exhibition. Drawing on poetry, storytelling, visual art and other creative forms, each artist offers a personal interpretation that reveals the emotional impact, ideas and conversations sparked by the works on display.

As you move through the exhibition together, you'll discover unexpected connections between artworks and responses, gaining fresh insight into the ways art can inspire, challenge and move us. This immersive gallery experience invites visitors to explore the exhibition from new perspectives while reflecting on the emotions and stories that art can evoke.

This event forms part of Emotion / Response, an evening curated by Kwanzaa Collective UK and Pilgrim Arts, celebrating artistic dialogue, creativity and community.

Advance booking is required. Spaces are limited.

Duration: Approximately 60 minutes

Suitable for: Adults and young people aged 14+ (younger visitors welcome with an accompanying adult). Fully accessible building. Free parking in close proximity in surrounding streets.

Following the artist-led journey, visitors are welcome to stay and enjoy the wider Open Lates programme, including after-hours exhibition access, live music, a creative drop-in activity and bar service until 8pm.
