Walking home from Tuesday Drawing, I found myself north of St Pancras station - passing St
Pancras Old Church
and then St Pancras Hospital, one of those old Victorian edifices, which had a big sign on the gates -
So I went in and found the Conference Centre Gallery (it's right near the restaurant) and had a look. The exhibition runs till 12 January, and the display was set up by the charity The Arts Project. It's rather tucked away. I've seen no publicity for it. The name of the show, "The Sewing Circle Rethread", references a similar exhibition held two years ago.
Twenty artists are taking part in the exhibition. Work ranges from the exotic to the subtle - what you might call eclectic!
