‘Art Of Illusion’ Gallery To Open In Town Centre

An exhibition based on scientific principles and concepts will open in the town centre tomorrow evening.

The ‘Art of Illusion’ will open to the public tomorrow evening at pop-up arts space, Undegun.

To celebrate National Science and Engineering week, a group of Wrexham artists have joined together to create an exhibition based on scientific principles.

Local arts organisation THIS Project have collaborated with the Wrexham branch of the British Science Association to create and event that aims to examine how a persons senses can be tricked.

The brief has been an open to submission to artists and schools in Wrexham have also been invited to take part.

Rachel Mason of the British Science Association said: “National Science Week is a time to inspire the young people of Britain and help stimulate their imagination of where a career in the science industry may take them.

“Working with local creative organisation THIS Project has allowed us to explore the themes associated with science and engineering in an easily understandable and unusual way, as well as showing what can be achieved by using relatively simple scientific concepts.”

A launch event for the exhibition will take place tomorrow evening from 6:30pm – 8:30pm at the former JJB store on Regent Street.

There will be original artwork on show as well as interactive displays, workshops, demonstrations and talks from scientists on the theme of illusions.

The event is a free event and the exhibition will run until Sunday April 6th.
