Friday 20th March ArtHouse Jersey @ Capital House
The second edition of The Channel Islands Contemporary Art Show opened with a lively evening at the gallery, bringing together artists and guests from across Jersey, Guernsey, Brittany and the UK. Visitors moved between sculpture, painting, photography and digital works, with drinks in hand as conversations flowed. The atmosphere was distinctly communal, reflecting the spirit of the exhibition itself. A highlight of the evening was a speech by Kirsten Morel, who spoke about the importance of fostering connections between neighbouring regions, noting the inclusion of artists from Brittany and Guernsey as a meaningful extension of the islands’ cultural dialogue. He also emphasised his commitment to supporting the arts through sustained funding, underlining its value within the island’s future. The event set the tone for an exhibition rooted in collaboration and a shared creative landscape.
