Spring Show

Time Is the Real Currency – Spring Exhibition at MidStreetLab

Brighton Fringe Award Winner 2024

‍

Following the overwhelming response to our Open Call, Time Is the Real Currency emerges as a bold and thought-provoking group exhibition, showcasing Brighton’s most exciting emerging artists. As part of Brighton Fringe and Artists Open House, this exhibition is more than a collection of artworks: it is a statement on the value of time, creativity, and community.  

‍

With Guest of Honour Dr. Jane Savage, this show presents an altruistic art production that celebrates local talent and the power of positive imagery to foster wellbeing and connection.

‍

From sculpture to painting, digital art to mixed media, each piece challenges the audience to reflect on time’s impact on life, love, and artistic expression. Through this dynamic showcase, MidStreetLab continues to push boundaries, offering a platform for artists to spark dialogue, gain recognition, and contribute to a broader conversation about the currency of time.

Join us for private viewings, talks, and drinks in our weekly program, running April 19 – June 1, and witness the future of art unfold in Brighton’s creative heart.
