The Pearl Ellis Gallery invites submissions for Spotlight on Craft, a display area that celebrates the creativity and skill of local makers. Each exhibition cycle will feature three makers for a two month period, offering visitors meaningful insight into their processes, materials, and artistic journeys. 

From fibre and clay to wood, glass, metal, and mixed media, Spotlight on Craft honours the diversity of handmade work and the makers who bring it to life.

We welcome proposals from both emerging and established makers who wish to share their craft and inspire our community through their artistry. Preference is given to those who have not been featured before.
