Take a Walk in Our Shoes: June exhibition and workshops

Meet the artists and discover how art can become a tool for self‑expression, social development and how creativity can make space for every voice.

This June our temporary exhibition Take a Walk in Our Shoes is a vibrant one, showcasing the work of three local artists whose practices explore self‑expression, belonging and the stories we carry with us and would you know, two of them even draw shoes!

The exhibition brings together drawing, photography and personal narrative to explore how identity is shaped by place, community, history and by the journeys we take. The artists draw on their experiences of growing up, living and creating in Somerset, while also connecting to wider issues including LGBTQ+ stories of resilience, joy and visibility.

This exhibition is for everyone! With opportunities not just to view the art but to meet the artists and  have a go through some free creative workshops. Find out how art can become a tool for self‑expression, social development and how creativity can make space for every voice.

Free workshops are available every Wednesday morning – just drop into the education room between 10am and 12noon for a colourful Scratch Art Workshop run by one of the artists Anna Vaughan-Spruce.

Curious about Photocollage? learn approaches to visual storytelling using photography and collage to reimagine your connection to place.  Artist Tomos Wray will be your guide in this free workshop where photography and collage come together. Using a mix of printed images, personal photography, and found materials, you’ll create your own unique photographic map of a space that matters to you. You are welcome to bring your own camera.  10am – 1pm with three dates to choose from. The workshop is free to do but you will want to book to reserve your place:

Do come to view the artwork, take part in activities, or simply enjoy being part of the welcoming, inclusive community that Street is and has always been.

Take a Walk in our Shoes runs from 1 – 30 of June 2026. A free exhibition and workshops for museum ticket holders.
