Founder of Inter-Arts Festival, Fiona Love Pattison, said: “This work is a reflection over 2019 - 2023; in 2019 we decided on the theme Invisible Made Visible and then in March 2020 the pandemic hit. It impacted all of us, in every way.

"Inter-Arts Festival did deliver the Invisible Made Visible online, but now it’s time for some of that work to be out into the gallery space. Our Hope, Faith, Belief theme came after and this is whatever you interpret it to mean, it is different for everyone.

“Every festival is different, and brings a new energy and subject matter, this is a good time to come together. A time to pause and reflect on where we have been and where we are now.”
