Take Over is SAW’s annual programme showcasing emerging artists, as part of our commitment to support up and coming talent. Join us for three unique exhibitions.

Exhibitions open: Tuesday – Thursday, 11am – 4pm and Saturday, 1pm – 4pm

Each exhibition is accompanied by a SAW Reflects event, which is a chance for an informal discussion with the artist over a bowl of soup.
