Local artist Gina Southgate transforms the look of the Vortex with her unique live jazz paintings. Our long running partnership has seen live performance painting take place at gigs, displays of her artwork on our walls, and collaborative work outdoors in Gillett Square. See examples of her work in the gallery below & click here to read the story.
During Vortex Outdoors 2012, Gina worked to capture the performances on canvas, with work also being projected onto the Vortex windows in the evening. Watch the video here. And visit Gina’s website here.
