Reading glasses or a magnifier could come in handy for viewing an exhibition of intriguingly small artwork that celebrates Portswood, opening in new exhibition space on Saturday (Aug 3).

‘Miniature Portswood’ by Romina Cristi Olate is “the way local artist Rco is saying goodbye to the neighbourhood [where] she has been living the last 3 years but at the same time the [birth] of a new Gallery Space for the city in the new premises of October Books…”
Romina will be present for the public launch, with celebratory drinks, from 12pm – 1pm (entry by free ticket here), and the work will be available to view in October Books’ community space until September 7 at 189 Portswood Road (SO17 2FN), when the space isn’t otherwise being used.
October Books says the co-operative bookshop is hoping to work with other artists who may want to exhibit in the future: contact the shop for further details.
