Christina Riley’s Opening Exhibiton: In this Book You’ll Find a Recipe

Christina Riley’s Opening Exhibiton: In this Book You’ll Find a Recipe Fri 24th July, 4pm - 8pm Join us at Narture for the final exhibition of our July Blank Canvas resident, artist and writer Christina Riley. Her project, In This Book You’ll Find a Recipe—a title borrowed from Georgia O’Keeffe—combines photography, books, and food to create a collaborative community cookbook. By gathering local recipes, cooking tips, and food memories, the project highlights the vital importance of sharing knowledge during modern climate and cost-of-living crises. Throughout July, Christina has been using Narture’s darkroom to develop photographs while designing and hand-binding her book. The exhibition space will showcase this collaborative cookbook alongside a special curation of The Nature Library, focusing on literature tied to food, agriculture, and the environment. The exhibition launches with an opening night on Friday 24th July, featuring an artist talk with Christina at 6:00 PM. The gallery will remain open for viewing throughout the weekend, on Saturday and Sunday 11am-4pm! MAKE by Narture Studios 30 Newmarket St, Ayr Book In

Book Launch of The Artist and the Mirmin of Famagusta by Sarah Dean-Hunter local author

Book Launch of The Artist and the Mirmin of Famagusta by Sarah Dean-Hunter local author Fri 31st July, 7pm - 8pm An Evening with Local Author & Artist Sarah Dean-Hunter: Art, Folklore, and Fictional Worlds Join us for an inspiring evening with professional artist and author Sarah Dean-Hunter as she celebrates the release of her captivating new novel, The Artist and the Mirmin of Famagusta. Set against the sun-drenched, golden backdrop of Cyprus, the novel follows Pearl, an artist whose life takes an enchanting and unexpected turn when she crosses paths with Siretta, a playful, gender neutral mermaid (Mirmin) from the deep. Far from a traditional romance, the book explores a rare, profound, and life-changing connection rooted in creativity, mutual discovery, and the beauty of platonic relationships. It is a story about learning to see the world through a completely fresh lens and discovering how art can bridge two entirely different worlds. Whether you are a lover of independent fiction, an art enthusiast, or interested in diverse and unique character representation in modern literature, this talk offers a wonderful glimpse into the creative mind. The presentation will be followed by a Q&A session and a book signing. Copies of the book will be available for purchase. SHAPE by Narture Studios 32 Newmarket St, Ayr Book In
