Exhibition of art prints and signed books by local illustrators John Bond and Sarah Edmonds, with an interactive drawing table for families.
Sarah Edmonds and John Bond are showing together at Colonnade House from 27 October to 1 November, a joint exhibition that brings their two worlds under one roof. It's a fitting pairing: they've shared a studio at the top of the building for years, and this is a chance to see their work side by side rather than tucked away upstairs.
Edmonds handles the birds. Her work is built around nature-led children's titles, funny puns and playful typography, so it's as much about the words as the images. Bond takes the dogs, with witty, observational prints and picture books like How Long is That Dog?, Dogs in Disguise and the popular Mini Rabbit series. Between them, the exhibition covers a good deal of the animal kingdom, and there's more than just prints on the walls: you'll find signed books and an interactive drawing table for families to get stuck into, so it's one you can bring the kids along to.
There's a bit of wider context here too. Colonnade House is the home of local art in Worthing, with two gallery spaces on the ground floor and ten studios for rent on the upper floors. This exhibition is part of a programme of shows by local artists marking the venue's tenth birthday, so it's a local pairing in a local space.
