The Circus is an endearing and generally well-loved theme. This exhibition brings together an artist who has spent many years studying and translating the characters of the circus into both 2D and 3D work; an artist who has spent the last year creating a magnificent diorama of the circus, and over 60 preschool children and their idea of the clown in the circus.
