For the final exhibition at John Hansard Gallery Central, we welcome a collaborative project with artist duo Juneau Projects, celebrating the value of creativity in its widest forms. In a fitting end to this chapter in the gallery’s city centre story, I am the Warrior, will be a playful, ever-evolving display that reveals the breadth and ambition of our creative passions.
From knitting to video art, poetry to model railways, the exhibition’s material will be the result of a free submission process with entirely open criteria. Works can be submitted at any time during opening hours and throughout the exhibition, with no restrictions as to the type of artwork, craft or hobby accepted.
We are interested in anything you consider creative and that you have made yourself. Wishing to be accessible to as broad an audience as possible, this is set to be a democratic celebration of creative expression. Juneau Projects are interested in the ways in which people are motivated to make things by creative desire, not by thought of commercial gain.
This is the third incarnation of the duo’s I am the Warrior project, most recently showing to great acclaim at the Pumphouse Gallery in London in 2011. Open submission Celebrating Creativity – we want your art, craft and hobby work for our final exhibition at JHG Central! Painting, Ceramics, Photography, Felt Making, Fanzines, Songs, Sculpture, Costumes, Carving, Embroidery, Model Railways, Musical Instruments, War Gaming Miniatures, Video Art, Poems, Masks, Knitting, Performance, Pavement Art, Collage, Upholstery and more…

The gallery is visited by a broad audience including children and families, so whilst we seek to invite a range of creative expression, occasionally some submissions may be inappropriate for the space and/or for our audiences. We therefore reserve the right not to display work that we think would be likely to cause offence, or is hazardous to our visitors.
