ROLL UP! ROLL UP!
LOOK! COME! SEE!

The many-varied & multi-talented artists form the Arches Studios, down 
in the Old Cattle Market, are bringing their wares to the People!

That’s right Folks, for one month only, all through December, 
Southampton’s finest aesthetes are opening up a new kind of shop, 
called The Arches Bizarre, on the ground floor of the Bargate Shopping 
Centre. From button badges to vast masterpieces! From the lowly chap- 
book to the one-off sculpture! From a humble T-shirt to exquisitely 
knitted mannequins! It’s all going to be right here, on your doorstep. 
And keep your eyes peeled for the odd Puppet Show, a random Busker or 
two, & impromptu workshops & happenings of all shapes & sizes. Rubbing 
shoulders with the Arches great & good are our two ladies of the 
aprons, Red Hot Press, & the talents of tomorrow will also be there, 
courtesy of the Illustration students fundraising for their degree 
show at Solent University.
Our Grand Opening is not to be missed, on the 27th of November, 4-6pm. 
This exciting event will get off to a leviathan style bang, courtesy 
of one of the city’s famous authors, Mr Philip Hoare! So pop along for 
a glass of something & a mince pie, & a chance to be the first to 
purchase that perfect xmas gift.

STEP INSIDE!
A LITTLE BIT OF THIS & A LITTLE BIT OF THAT, HO! HO!
