Blind Date was curated by Audrey Baldwin for First Thursdays, Dreamscapes, 2017.

From the Facebook event page;

‘Thirty two artists were paired together to create a new work by match-maker-come-curator Audrey Baldwin. The eligible dates supplied an artist bio that included three key words to describe themselves, three to describe their practice and, of course, their star sign.

This exhibition hosts a wide range of artists from multiple disciplines and career stages. Featuring work by artists from as far away as Canada, India and the UK. What will come of these pairings? Will art-romance blossom? Will there be tears? How will the long-distance pairings cope?’
