Creature Comforts Art Exhibition

Creature Comforts is running at Indigo Crow Gallery on 57 Burton Road until Saturday 8 November, with more than 35 artists showing work inspired by the animal kingdom. It's a varied collection that brings together original artwork, prints and cards, all selected through an open call.

The whole thing grew out of the interest of Fiona Hodges, who curated the show. She describes herself as a 'mad cat lady' with a lifelong love of animals and of making art that features them, and the exhibition started as an open invitation to other artists to explore the animal world in their own unique ways. That's why the hanging mixes established artists with people exhibiting in a gallery for the very first time, and the work on the walls ranges from original pieces to prints and cards.

Because it's an open call, the animal kingdom is approached from a lot of different angles rather than one single style. You'll find original work alongside prints and cards, and since there's a mix of established names and first-timers, the price points vary too, with affordable originals on sale alongside the prints and cards. It's as much a shop as it is a show, so if you're looking for something to take home, there's plenty to choose from.

Entry is free, and the gallery is open 10am to 4pm daily except Mondays, so you can drop in whenever suits you. It runs from 27 October to 8 November, with the final day being this Saturday.
