“But why think? Why not try the Experiment?”

Berkeley

Dates: Exhibition open 13th April - 13th September 2025, Sun-Wed 11am-4pm

Venue: Dr Jenner's House

"But why think? Why not try the Experiment?”

An exhibition of sculptures by members of the Cotswold Sculptors Association, inspired by the life and work of Edward Jenner.

Set in the historic garden of Dr Jenner’s House in Berkeley, where the pioneer of vaccination against smallpox lived and told the world about his work. The house is now a museum telling the story of not only vaccination but his many interests, from ballooning to fossil hunting. See https://jennermuseum.com for details.

 

 

An exciting collection of brand new work

Starting with Jenner’s spirit of experimentation, as the title quote; 18 artists took up the challenge to break with their normal practice and take an original approach. Their individual approaches are stunningly varied and encourage the visitor to also see Jenner through a fresh lens.

Exhibition open 13th April - 13th September 2025, Sun-Wed 11am-4pm
Free admission with Museum entry, please see the museum website for details

 

 

THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE WORK: SHARING A PASSION FOR SCULPTURE
Created by a group of artists from the Cotswold Sculptors Association. The wider association is an inclusive non-profit, run by its artist-members in the Cotswolds and beyond, to promote the making and appreciation of sculpture in its many forms. We support each other in our artistic practice, by creating connections, sharing inspiration and opportunities to show our work with the world.
