We started off the day with a talk by the owner of Jugglers Art Space, Peter Breen. He set up the space to help emerging artists exhibit their work. There are two main exhibition spaces at Jugglers; upstairs which is a small space, ideal for one person; and the main gallery space downstairs, which is great for large group exhibitions. Peter really believes in helping young artists exhibit their work, this is evident in the prices the Gallery charges for exhibiting work. Jugglers also holds many competitions throughout the year, giving artists even more opportunities to exhibit.
I would really like to exhibit with Jugglers, especially in a group exhibition. I really like Peter's motto and what the Gallery stands for.

Graffiti outside the Gallery.
On the day we were there, Jugglers was setting up a new exhibition. Unfortunately there were no didactic's next to these pieces, so I am unsure of the artist. But they were so beautiful I needed to get a photo.
Leonie Chinn, Bliss Permeated Mother, 2015
Leonie Chinn, Eternal Springtime - after Rodin, 2015
In the upstairs Gallery, Leonie Chinn was finishing up her installation. Her works are beautiful and are a homage to some of the great artists of the past. You can see the movement and life in each piece. I use charcoal and pastel in my own art practice, so I feel really drawn to her work.
