Strawberry Fields is a collaborative project to showcase work by emerging and established artists, based on the theme of Strawberry Fields Forever by The Beatles.
The aim of this project is to produce a publication which captures the creative magic of more than 25 artists from a range of disciplines. Each of the illustrators, graphic designers and photographers has created a very individual response to the groundbreaking record.
The project is also running as part of collaboration month on Central Station, an online network for artists and designers. Central Station provided funding towards this project and was the platform upon which many of the people involved in Strawberry Fields came together. Strawberry Fields will showcase many fresh, new talents alongside more established artists and provide them with the kind of unique promotional opportunity that can be difficult for emerging artists to create alone. The collected work will be published and sold across the UK in galleries, online and in specialist book shops. The original works for the publication will also be exhibited at Welcome Home in Glasgow. The exhibition opens on Friday 5th February and is open to the public from 6th to 21st February.
Strawberry Fields is being organised by Genevieve Ryan, assisted by curators Mhari McMullan and Janie Nicoll, with overall design of the publication by Ryan R Thompson.
