New Artists on View exhibition reimagines tarot cards with a modern twist!

Nineteen artists with different art practices have come together for Arcana, a free exhibition at Dudley House on View Street.

Each artist reimagines one or more of the 22 Major Arcana cards, transforming traditional designs into evolving modern artworks inspired by mythology, folklore, and human emotions.

The exhibition includes a wide range of art forms, such as illustrations, printmaking, digital art, and mixed media. The styles vary from whimsical and playful to dark and gothic.

Visitors to the exhibitions are invited to feel as though they are stepping inside a living tarot deck where every image tells a story and every card reveals a new idea or perspective.

Arcana is open daily from 10am to 5pm until Tuesday June 23. An official opening is on Saturday June 13 at 2pm and all are welcome to attend.

This exhibition complements the Artist Market on View Street this Saturday June 13, featuring live demonstrations, talks and stalls from 10am to 2pm with Eat. Drink. Art. program participants.
