QUBE ARTS Qube is a fully accessible creative centre which acts as a forum for ideas, a place to involve everyone, a show space for new art work, a gallery for emerging and established artists and a link to other centres of arts learning and practice. We provide the first Arts & Health focused centre in the West Midlands, challenging attitudes and involving new audiences. As well as the Qube Gallery we also house as part of ICT Graphics a multimedia department that runs courses in creative technologies as well as taking on commissions and providing resources for artists and designers. The last year has seen us develop partnerships with galleries in other rural areas of Europe. This has seen the exchange of exhibitions with Museo Anton in Candas, Asturias, Spain and the major European touring exhibition Extramuros - Art Outside the Walls.
Ellesmere Gateway Art Commission British Waterways and Qube Arts have appointed local ceramic artists Ruth Gibson and Huw Powell Roberts to create three sculptures along the Llangollen Canal in Ellesmere. They have worked with the community in developing ideas for the works and have now agreed designs with the Ellesmere sculpture steering committee.
The sculptures and have now been completed and can now be viewed along the canal.
Extramuros - Art Outside the Walls March 28th - July 12th 2007 saw the landmark launch of Extramuros - Art Outside the Walls at the Mere in Ellesmere. It has now visited Andalucia in southern Spain and Beira Interior in Portugal and is now on display in Asturias in Northern Spain. The three British commissioned artworks will return to be permanently sited at the Mere in Ellesmere becoming part of the town's sculpture trail.
