Three emerging artists with connections to the local area feature in Flare, a new exhibition at Wisbech Gallery which launched on Saturday 31st October.

Ruby Bellamy, a recipient of a 2026 Norfolk & Norwich Festival Young Creatives Bursary, creates textile and mixed-media work inspired by home, local landscapes and traditional crafts. Kayleigh Brooks explores themes of loneliness, connection and human relationships through large-scale text works and figurative oil paintings, capturing the moments that stay with us long after they've passed. Lily Rolfe uses oil paint and collage to create portraits that explore emotion, stress and anxiety, using layers of imagery and materials to reflect the complexities of everyday life.

Award-winning artist EVES, who formally opened the exhibition, said: “As you look around the Gallery, you will discover work created in a variety of media, each with its own character, approach and visual language. What brings these works together is the thought, imagination, curiosity and creative energy that sit behind each of them.”

Flare reflects the Gallery’s commitment to supporting emerging talent and connecting local communities with contemporary visual arts. The Exhibition runs until Saturday 28th November 2026 and is open each week from Wednesday to Saturday, 10am to 4pm. The artists are also hosting Sketch and Social drop-in sessions at the Gallery every Saturday in November, from 11am to 3pm. These informal gatherings offer an opportunity for creatives to meet, draw, share ideas and spend time together in a welcoming environment.

Admission is free and more information about the exhibition and Saturday events can be found on the Gallery website at www.blackfieldcreatives.com
