Join us on Friday 20 June for the opening of Perennial, the first in a new series of annual exhibitions at Haarlem Artspace, celebrating the breadth and vitality of artistic practice rooted in and connected to Wirksworth and the wider region.

Bringing together artists living and working locally with others from across the UK who are seeking to form creative links with this unique rural setting, Perennial reflects Haarlem Artspace’s commitment to nurturing a thriving and supportive community of contemporary practitioners — both emerging and established.

The exhibition’s title evokes ideas of return, resilience, and slow growth — of cycles that repeat and renew. In this spirit, Perennial marks not only the beginning of an ongoing exhibition tradition, but also the kind of sustainable, long-term thinking that underpins our approach to programming, collaboration, and meaningful support for artists — through space, opportunity, and community.

We open Perennial with a celebration at the gallery on Friday 20 June. Grab a drink downstairs at The Feather Star and join us upstairs in the gallery for an evening of art, conversation, and celebration as we launch this new annual exhibition series.
