ART enthusiasts are being encouraged to support an art exhibition which has opened in Carlisle. Carlisle Contemporary Arts has opened its pop-up gallery in the Pop-up29 shop on Scotland Road in the Stanwix area of Carlisle to remind people that the group is still operating. Its usual gallery at the Old Fire Station remains closed due to the coronavirus pandemic, but the artists involved were eager to ensure that didn’t stop them. “We decided to open up here for a couple of weeks to show people we are still here and we are still a group and we are still in operation,” explained one of the artists involved, Marilyn Laugeson.

A pop-up art exhibition is set to launch in Carlisle.
The Carlisle Contemporary Arts Cooperative (CCA) exhibition will open at Pop up 29 on Scotland Road in Carlisle on Monday and will run until May 9.
Since the first lockdown in March last year, the temporary closure of the Old Fire Station left the CCA without a home for more than a year.
They have stayed together as a group and will be exhibiting for the second time at Pop Up 29 along with guests artists, Martin Evans, David Phillips, and Connie Dalton of Snorkeler Designs.
