‘EPHEMERA’
a Contemporary Exhibition
– curated by Daniel A’Vard
What does it mean for art to be temporary? Ephemera is an exhibition of contemporary art that explores the beauty of “things that exist, are used, or are enjoyed for only a short time.” In a world often obsessed with permanence, this exhibition celebrates the transient, the decaying, and the fragile.
Ephemera is curated by Daniel A’Vard and will run alongside the Bright Winter Exhibition from 27 June to 3 August.
ALSO SHOWING DURING THE 2026 WINTER EXHIBITION are:
Select WATERCOLOUR works from the PERMANENT COLLECTION plus a display of the gallery’s PORCELAIN COLLECTION & THE BUCKLAND SCREENS will also be exhibited.
