Art | Character Totem Homecoming Show
If you are anywhere near Birmingham over the next 12 days be sure to check out the Character Totem Homecoming Show at the Zellig Gallery. It promises to be an inspiring and colourful walk-through installation of hand-painted customised totem poles, lovingly created by an evolving collective of artists from across the globe.
There’s gonna be all sorts of other ‘character totem’ themed artwork in the exhibition too, and it’s all for sale! It should be an amazing event after the Berlin show went down a storm.
