About

'Now Showing 2' is the second exhibition of newly acquired film and video works from the Arts Council Collection.

The collection features a diverse range of work from award winning artists Margaret Salmon, Mark Neville and Simon Martin, Spartacus Chetwund, Iain Forsyth, Jane Pollard and Torsten Lauschmann.
