A Neck Deep mural has appeared outside The Rockin’ Chair () in Wrexham! 😮

The artwork is part of the Wrexham Public Art Trail, a city project adding murals across the centre celebrating the culture and people that define the city as it pushes for UK City of Culture 2029 status.

Not a bad way to honour one of Wrexham’s biggest pop punk exports..

And that’s it! We’re out ✨

What an incredible nine months of shows which we had the absolute privilege to share with some of the most talented people!

We couldn’t have asked for better friends and collaborators to have been on this project with us.

To and we owe you everything and will be eternally grateful for your willingness to just take a chance with us 🌸

And .echlin_art thank you for your time and enthusiasm right at the end of this project, it was just a crucial no matter the circumstance.

As always a wholehearted thanks to who without this would simply have never happened!


Whilst this space and chapter is finished, we can look now towards what’s next and how we morph into the next iteration. A time now for reflection and relaxation. We shall see what comes next, but for now thank you from the bottom of our hearts❤️

Love and Gratitude

Thank you to everyone who came out to see us off from the space. It’s truly been an incredible privilege to be able to play and explore on this space. We are now in the process of taking everything down and vacating the space but we’re glad to have celebrated one last time with what we believe is our bravest, most ambitiously curated show since we started in 2020.

Here’s to more in the future.

As we all knew would eventually happen, we’ve been handed notice to leave our Hypha Studios unit in June.

But not without a final goodbye!

ALL MUST GO. Our final show in the biggest gallery in Wales, shares the work of 3 Wrexham-based artists, our artists in residence over our time here.

For one night, and one night only, come see the work of

And then it’s all over!

We’ve had a fantastically hectic 9 months in this space and it has given us more opportunities and experience than we could have ever asked for. As always we want to thank for the opportunity and for keeping the door open for us, supporting our curatorial journey and vision. Thank you to the 100+ artists involved since the start and thank you to the 1000+ visitors that have come through our doors. We couldn’t have done it without you!

Come celebrate with us one last time. We hope to see you there 💕

✨So yesterday we hosted a surgery, with mentors Scott Mccracken and Marcus Harvey✨

This was an amazing opportunity for 6 artists to recieve a day crit with the mentors, chatting about their own work and having feedback between peers.

We are incredibly grateful that the Turps CC artists as part of their show in Wrexham chose to sponsor a local painter to be part of the surgery.



We’d like to thank Turps for their support and particularly to Scott and Marcus for their time and encouragement given to us over the last couple of days, it has been a pleasure to facilitate this opportunity!

Photos as always were taken by there will be a part 2 as there was so much to capture!

✨What a brilliant turnout for the opening of both shows last night! ✨

We have just got the photos back from and they portray everything we couldn’t imagine to put into words so thank you to everyone who came and showed support!

We just wanted to say a huge congratulations to who has curated a beautifully considered show with some amazing artists from literally all over the world.

Attached below is some of the statement that was written for last night that hopefully can simmer throughout the rest of the show:

Artist-led spaces like ours serve as critical sanctuaries where ambition can flourish. They are where creatives can fail, learn, and grow. The freedom from commercial pressures allows for
an environment where unconventional ideas can take shape, where art can exist on its own terms. However, the sustainability of these spaces is in constant jeopardy. They operate on a fragile balance of volunteer labor, limited resources, and fluctuating support. Each lost space is not just a physical void but a break in the networks of care and solidarity that allow artistic communities to thrive.

This moment is a continual tribute to the volunteers, friends, and networks who have supported us tirelessly. Your generosity—whether through lending a hand on install days, showing up for events, or offering a listening ear—has made all of this possible. You are the pulse of these spaces, transforming them from rooms filled with art into vibrant hubs of connection and care. Your contributions often come at a personal cost, and there are no words to fully express our gratitude. Your dedication keeps us alive, daring, and always striving to push boundaries.

We owe once again immense thanks to for their unwavering support of artists and emerging curators. Your passion for creating accessible and inspiring spaces has been
instrumental in making this exhibition a reality. Your belief in grassroots initiatives fuels the courage needed to cultivate ambitious ideas and connect communities through art.

Love and Gratitude Ryan and Chlo x

✨🙌 OPENING TOMORROW NIGHT 🙌✨

The show is done other than finishing touches!

We are preparing all the maps and price lists as we speak, risk assessments and refreshments also on the go!

We had some exciting people filming yesterday in the space and was back for more documentation of both exhibitions.

More importantly Leigh’s first ever curated show opens tomorrow, a true feat of determination and ambition, with 8 incredible artists she’s curated a beautifully light and considered exhibition! We won’t spoil too much!

Come and see it, doors open at 6pm

Thank you as always to our one true love without them this literally doesn’t exist 🌸
