30x30 Returns

Exhibition runs November 15th - January 26th 2025

This is the third biannual small works exhibition at the Lakes District Museum & Gallery.
This collection features stunning, compact works from talented local artists, blending both
professional and emerging voices across a vibrant range of styles and media.


Each piece is no larger than 30cm3, inviting artists to explore the beauty of detail and intimacy in
small-scale art.

Each piece shows how much meaning and depth can be packed into a tiny form.

Operating as a cash and carry style exhibition, new artworks will continue to populate the gallery throughout the summer.
