Desert Psychedelia hits Horsham Regional Art Gallery

Artisan travelling exhibition 'Jimmy Pike: Desert Psychedelic' opened early November at Horsham Regional Art Gallery to the great delight of visitors. As curator Alison Eggleton notes: 'All visitors have responded to the Desert Psychedelic exhibition with excitement and delight. The bright colours and vivid designs have transformed our gallery into a joyful space.'

One local councillor made Horsham Regional Art Gallery staff Jimmy Pike badges for the opening from Jimmy Pike fabric they had, ensuring everyone got into the desert psychedelic spirit.

The exhibition closes at Horsham Regional Art Gallery on the 18th of December 2011.
