Venture upstairs at Woods Furniture and Design beginning 23 February and you will find the showroom has become part art gallery.  

Woods asked Nickola McCoy Snell, artist and owner of Arteccentrix Gallery, to curate a series of exhibitions for them in the showroom and the first of these, titled Changes, opens on Thursday.  

Changes is a group show featuring 14 local artists, who all fall into the abstract and contemporary categories. There will be sculptures from Al Ebanks and Scott Swing in addition to paintings by Avril Ward, Amar Sheow, Randy Chollette, Renate Seffer, Nasaria Scukoo-Chollette, Robert McKendrick, Nancy Murphy, Leigh Pawling, Lorna Reid, Gordon Solomon, Steve Jocelyn and Nickola Snell.  

The exhibition will feature some works from these artists that have rarely been exhibited before and must be less than two years old. In addition, Nickola has asked 50 per cent of the artists’ submissions be new material, and in keeping with the title of the show, she urged them to change things up a bit, break out of their usual style and create something innovative and different.  

Changes runs until April 6, at Woods Furniture and Design, in Industrial Park.
