Decade - A celebration of friends
From 2013 to 2015 Emerald Framing & Gallery took stands at Windsor and Reading Contemporary Art Fairs. Cath from Emerald bought together and curated 2D and 3D artwork from six contemporary women artists working in different - but complementary media and styles.
Our final exhibition of 2024 brings ‘the band’ back together ten years on and promises to once again be a visual treat for art collectors and visitors to Emerald.
