Last month we said goodbye and good luck to our resident artists Marie & Darren of foursandeights.
After 6 incredible years, we are sad to announce that Marie and Darren from foursandeights our resident artists in studio 8, are moving on from the Hotwalls studios to their new premises in Southsea.
Their inspiring journey has been nothing short of amazing – from curating solo exhibitions to showcasing their diverse works in screen-prints, risograph, mono prints, collage, and cyanotype, running a busy studio, delivering workshops, working and most of all having an amazing family.
Marie and Darren have made a significant impact in the community in Portsmouth. They were successful in two different Arts Council England Project Grant bids during that time. One of those was to support 5 local youth clubs in Portsmouth city by creating their own digital art, which was featured in the We Shine Festival.
With their vision, they created a supersized projection in the heart of the city for the first ever We Shine Festival.
They are so active within the community and have made such a positive impact on so many people.
While we are sad to see them go, they aren’t going far! Stay tuned for more details on their next adventure.
