Transition to Newlyn Art Gallery

2019 - Transition to Newlyn Art Gallery

As part of the 2018 MIDAS Award Dan Hollings received, Dan was given one of the transition Periods to the Newlyn Art Gallery, using the space as an Alternative studio space. Dan welcomed the public to make works and drawings along side him in the space which are being fed into his own studio space and artworks.

Dan made zines with the public to take away for free with imagery of his own work and some tasks for the audience to take part in which were fed into these.

As well as this, Dan displayed his body of work created since the back of graduating from university.
