What visitors say
Can I just say what a well planned event City Jam was and Focal Point Gallery played a huge part in allowing artists to interact with members of the public in the workshop sessions outside the venue. A huge credit to everyone that made the event happen from the Council being supportive to the organisers and artists from all over the world. I was blown away by the artwork and how friendly everyone was. I will 100% be back next year.

They were the friendliest staff I’ve ever had at a gallery, so much that I wanted to buy a book from the website after to gift to someone. I want to give a special shoutout to Fern who was incredibly kind and had some of the best customer service I’ve seen via email. Such a great experience all round!!! You have to go, whatever’s on

I found the exhibitionreally entertaining. At first it was pretty confusingbut you understand what it is about as you go through. It suggests an belief in evolutionbut also in fantasy. The exhibition was pretty short since it wasnt a big gallery but it was enough to let you know what it is all about.
