'Welcome Home' Exhibition and Opening Event
Join us to celebrate the Taste of Yeovil
On behalf of the Yeovil Art & Heritage Working Group, we are delighted to invite you to a gathering event, celebrating the opening of ‘Welcome Home’, the new Taste of Yeovil Exhibition at our gallery in the Quedam Shopping Centre, on Saturday 20 January 2024, 2-5pm.
We are inviting the community to come together, to feel proud of where we live and what we have achieved together. We think this exhibition especially highlights the strong community minded spirit that has been at the heart of the Story of Yeovil project over the last year and we want to celebrate this with you.
All are welcome, refreshments will be available, including tasters of dishes from various different cultures, thanks to contributions from our wonderful community members who have been involved in the Story of Yeovil project this year.
We would love for you to join us! This is a FREE event but if you wish to attend, please RSVP by 18 January.
Taste of Yeovil tells the stories of diverse communities through a shared interest in food, capturing tales of ‘food culture’ over time, specific to Yeovil and its communities. It is the final public programme for Story of Yeovil, funded by The National Heritage Lottery Fund.
WELCOME HOME
The Taste of Yeovil Exhibition ‘Welcome Home’ at Yeovil Art Space (20 Jan – 30 Mar) will bring together a display of artworks co-created with artists and community members in Yeovil over the last 6 months.
We have been inspired by food from diverse communities and the part it plays in our lives and our heritage. Yeovil’s Indian Association and Friends are one of many groups to participate, along with individuals from Italian, Hong Kong, African-Caribbean, South Asian, Polish, South African and Mexican backgrounds. The exhibition will also include some fascinating ‘food related’ historical objects from private contributions and the South Somerset Heritage Collection.
