Shared Ground

  • Free
  • Art

Shared Ground celebrates a dedicated group of artists who gather every Thursday morning at VAS under the guidance of tutor Lana Daubermann. United by a shared love for painting, the class is encouraged not to simply replicate the landscape, but to translate the world through their own unique lenses.

While starting from common ground, their creative paths diverge in exciting ways. From bold, expressive brushstrokes to abstract explorations of colour, this exhibition showcases a diverse range of voices. Alongside individual student pieces, the collection features unique collaborative works where multiple artists painted on a single canvas.
