Solstice Arts Centre

A glimpse into The Future is Open

Step a little closer… these details are just fragments of a much larger conversation unfolding at Solstice Arts Centre this summer. Marking 20 years of the centre, this exhibition gathers an incredible range of artists whose work stretches from the cosmic to the deeply human.

Through film, sculpture, painting, and photography, The Future is Open invites us to consider how we make meaning in a world shaped by accelerating technologies, shifting climates, and imagined realities. Ancient systems of interpretation sit alongside contemporary digital languages; intuition meets algorithm; the personal merges with the planetary.
