Exhibition – Autumn 2024

EXHIBITION | Autumn 2024

Saturday October 12th to Sunday November 3rd

The Autumn show is one of Newlyn Society of Artists’ twice-yearly exhibitions at the Tremenheere gallery. Autumn 2024 presents a cross section of members’ most recent work. Thought provoking and diverse, there is no house style in the NSA. The visitor can expect to see high-quality work reflecting the wide range of practice within the membership, where the nature and challenges of contemporary life can find an artistic voice.

The Opening Party is on Saturday 12th October 2.00 to 4.00pm. All are welcome.

On Sunday October 20th a group of participating artists will be at the gallery from 2.00 to 3.30pm to talk to visitors about the ideas and processes involved in their practice. If you can’t make the talks, there will be one or two participating artists at the gallery every day. They will be happy to answer any questions.

The gallery is open every day 11.00 – 4.00pm (Except Monday)

Entry to the gallery is free.

Tanya Krzywinska awarded an MBE for her contributions to Higher Education and the Video Games Industry

 

Huge congratulations to NSA member Tanya Krzywinska, who has been awarded an MBE in the King’s Birthday Honours for her contributions to Higher Education and the Video Games Industry.

Tanya is Professor of Digital Games at Falmouth University. In a post on the University’s website (see link below), Associate Professor Doug Brown said Tanya’s ‘Groundbreaking research and fearless experimentation have pushed the boundaries of what games can achieve, elevating their status as a legitimate art form and demonstrating the transformative value of games’ potential in health, heritage and culture.’ 

Last year NSA members had the opportunity to work with Tanya to create dimensions of augmented (AR) and virtual reality (VR) within their work. This was part of Falmouth and Exeter Universities’ Immersive Business outreach project, funded by European Regional Development Fund. These AR and VR artworks were exhibited in the launch show for two new apps created by Tanya and fellow NSA member Professor Penny Florence for Tremenheere Gardens. They were then shown in ‘Engage’, the NSA’s Spring show in 2023.

As well as her university teaching, research and academic writing, Tanya is a painter. She regularly shows her work with the NSA and in solo and group exhibitions at the Crypt Gallery in St Ives and other galleries in the area.  We are very proud to have Tanya with us in the NSA.
