Idit Elia Nathan: Draw Me a Home
13 Jul 2020 – 16 Aug 2020
Departure Lounge
Luton, United Kingdom
Departure Lounge is Luton’s international contemporary art space, with a particular focus on photography.
We believe that art is for everyone and so all our exhibitions and events are free and everyone is welcome.
Embedded locally, and connected internationally, we’re proud to be in Luton. Working in partnership with The Culture Trust Luton, we deliver a diverse and engaging exhibition and events programme that invites you to explore and connect with the best in international contemporary art. No previous experience necessary.
Championing art and photography for the widest possible audiences, we invite world-class artists to work and collaborate with our local communities. Our exhibitions are at once both challenging and accessible, and always thought-provoking. We work with early-career and established artists and photographers to commission new work, produce group and solo shows and offer opportunities for participation.
Established in 2010, Departure Lounge has been bringing vacant retail premises across the town back into use, exhibiting exciting new art in new places for over a decade. Since September 2016, the gallery has occupied the Storefront, a former hat showroom on Bute Street.
