The Swan Studio has been the home of the Retford Art Society since 2008. Situated in Carolgate, Retford the studio was once a function room for the Swan Inn, an old coaching inn. Today the studio is an active centre for artists and people who love art. The Society’s activities include life drawing, studio painting sessions, workshops and demonstrations, plein-air groups and art related outings. All works are for sale.
Sequins and Sparkles, a fashion exhibition
Open until January 2025
Enter a world of shimmering glamour with ‘Sequins and Sparkles’, an exhibition that brings together a collection of fashion from the 20th century. This display features a striking array of garments made of fabrics with metallic threads, adorned with sequins and beads. A selection of dazzling 19th-20th century jewellery and accessories completes the sparkle.
When two sensational 1920s party dresses, currently being conserved, return to the museum, they will be added to the display, bringing even more shimmer to the show.
Admission to both of these exhibitions is free.
