A Vision for Sustainable Art
Susan Proctor Hume, founder of SPH and curator of Reclaimed, highlights the exhibition’s mission to merge artistic innovation with environmental consciousness.
“From our first event at The Hyde Hotel, my goal has always been to foster collaboration among artists, curators, and creatives. With Reclaimed, we’re taking this mission to new heights, spotlighting the beauty and potential of upcycled materials,” says Hume.
The theme of Reclaimed aligns with SPH’s dedication to sustainability, promoting recycling across clothing, furniture, and art. The exhibition also reflects the ethos of Gorgeous George, a venue renowned for its earth-friendly practices and dynamic creative energy.
