The training shoe has been around for over 100 years but in the last 50 years it has developed into a multibillion dollar global industry. In this exhibition we take a closer look at the design, technology, cultural influences and environmental impact of the trainer and showcase our own trainer collection, the largest owned by a public institution.
This exhibition, for all ages, explores the processes artists go through to produce their work and the techniques they employ. Technique provides an opportunity to look beyond the artist and subject matter and gain a greater understanding into how artworks are created across a variety of media. On display will be a wide cross-section of works from our Fine Art collection including drawings, prints oil paintings, sculpture and watercolours as well as key pieces from our collections of Textile Art and Studio Pottery
Northampton Town and County Art Society are delighted to be able to return to Northampton Museum and Art Gallery. Thankfully with the return to normality, the 105th Annual exhibition will be Open, so as well as Members and Associate Members exhibiting, this exhibition will also include a selection of Non-Members work, allowing visitors a chance to see the wide variety of styles and subjects that such a group show offers.
Every Friday 12.30 - 2pm FREE Our regular knit and natter group is growing. To keep it accessible for a variety of crafters, we’ve changed the name and extended the time. If you’re looking for a way to unwind after a busy week or just want to make some new crafting friends, come along with your chosen craft. Bring your own craft and have a bite to eat in the new museum café. Drop in – no bookings required but please purchase a drink or something to eat from the café so the group can sit in the bright and spacious new café area.
