There are 396 exhibits from artists in the TN local area.

The works come from both established artists and first time exhibitors.
 
West Kent Radio's Mary Whitlock heard from curator Helena Copsey how so many artists came to put their works in for the exhibition - which runs to June 1st 2025.  You can listen to her 4 minute interview report here:
 
 
The Amelia says on its website: "Our ambition with this exhibition is simple: we want to offer a chance for artists and makers living locally to exhibit their creative work. We also want you, our visitors, to see their work and be inspired by the wealth of skill, ideas, and creativity that exists on your doorstep".
