Head over Heels exhibition in Cirencester

With Cheltenham Race Week just around the corner, a lavish exhibition of head and footwear will be on display at New Brewery Arts in Cirencester this spring.

Described as an exuberant exhibition celebrating contemporary head and footwear, Head over Heels at New Brewery Arts in Cirencester will be showcasing a selection of the most creative designers in the UK today – according to organisers.

Not merely fashion statements, the dramatic hats and shoes on display can be enjoyed as 3D objects in their own right – with exhibition visitors encouraged to question whether the items are indeed wearable or works of art.

Milliners exhibiting include Bridget Bailey, Sarah Cant, Georgie Carss, Pip Hackett, Karen Henriksen, Sally Ann Proven, Yasmin Rizvi, Noel Stewart, with shoemaker Tracey Neuls’ work also on display.

A testament to skill and craftsmanship, as well as creativity, alongside the Head over Heels exhibition New Brewery Arts will be hosting some of the designers as artists in residence, with visitors having the chance to see them working in the gallery.

Please note, the dates listed here apply to the opening fortnight of this exhibition. Full dates for this exhibition are Saturday 6 March to Sunday 25 April 2010.
