Let us Leap was a community-based festival in June to introduce you to Hertford Arts Hub. We hosted a vibrant programme of visual art, music, literature and educational activity to celebrate the town’s art, culture and people. This was inspired by the work of the painter; poet and musician Alan Davie (1920-2014) celebrated as the first twentieth century British artist to develop an expressive form of abstraction. For over 50 years he worked from his home and studio in nearby Rush Green.
As well as making highly improvisatory paintings, Davie also practised as poet and jazz musician. Let Us Leap brought together contemporary artists and performers exploring creative expression in new and contemporary ways.

It was stunning to see such a wonderful response to all the events and welcome over 1000 visitors and participants to the weekend. Due to the popularity of the exhibition we will be extending the show until late autumn. You will be able to experience what will become the new Hertford Arts Hub gallery with photographs, the architect’s model and of course the magnificent artworks.
