    The Stolen Orange: Artists' Private View
    Art • Poetry • Celebration

    You’re invited to a private gathering to mark the opening of The Stolen Orange — and to celebrate the incredible work you’ve brought into being.

    This is a moment for us — the artists, writers, collaborators — to come together, raise a glass, and honour the collective effort that made this show possible.

    There’ll be readings from Brian Patten’s poetry, plenty of wine, probably crisps, and some questionable dancing if we’re lucky.

    No speeches, no pressure

    — just a chance to see the show in good company, before we open the doors wide.

    Come toast the work. You’ve earned it.
    And yes — oranges will be involved.
