February started with the busiest day Firepit has ever had. We opened two exhibitions for the Lunar New Year. ‘Splendours of Henan’ and ‘A journey Within Inner Light’. We ran three bookable workshops and two drop in sessions. For the Henan Society, there were performances from a traditional opera singer, a Traditional Fan Dance, we had a Shaolin Monk, performing Kung Fu. In a five hour period, we had 833 visitors, including two representatives from the Chinese Embassy. It really was an epic day.

Other News

March.. We are so excited here at Firepit to present two exhibition next Month. Each exhibition we do grows from the knowledge and experience of the last one. We have learned that collaborating and sharing space with other passionate and talented people, brings so much more magic to the space and of course to the event itself. BUSTOUT100 opens its doors to the public on March 7th, running in normal gallery opening hours. Please have a look at the eventbrite page as it contains all the details of the exhibition. BUSTOUT100 is in aid of and supported by, Pink Ribbon Foundation, Firepit’s charity partner for 2025.

The other exhibition opening in March is titled, ‘Exposed’. We are announcing the artists in Mid Feb - we’ll send out a mid month newsletter focusing just on these two exhibitions. The opening night party will be on March 13th, I strongly suggest reserving your tickets for this. As a special sneak preview, this is an image of one of the artists work that is in the show. Yes, a skull made from feathers!

The majority of the artists taking part in ‘Exposed’, have some link to the ‘BUSTOUT100’ Exhibition. Also a lot of the artists are donating 10% of sales to Pink Ribbon Foundation.

In other news, Firepit Art Gallery will be at the Affordable Art Fair in Hampstead in May. We will likely have some free tickets to give away, will let you know nearer the time.
