Tray is a month long exhibition of works by 15 Southwest based artists. All the works in the show incorporate in some way a 72cm x 86cm x 3cm large old wooden paper tray. These trays came into the artists' hands as the result of a recent local business premises clearance. The trays, made suddenly redundant have been rethought and adapted by the artists and are now presented in shop window spaces left empty in the streets of Stroud. As well as Tray works suspended and exhibited in the shop window frontages, the show also includes a space hidden behind the Trays and boards in the SVA John street shop space. This space will be used as a gallery / project space / shop for small artworks using ready-mades and found objects and will be open during the Saturdays of the festival and for the Open Studio weekends. The exhibition will host a readymade related event on 13th June.
