Out of the Bloom: SALA Exhibition

Bedford Group’s SALA exhibition, Out of the Bloom, explores themes of growth, change, resilience and transformation through a vibrant collection of creative works.

Featuring painting, pottery and digital design, the exhibition brings together artists whose unique interpretations of the theme reflect their individual experiences, perspectives and creative journeys.

Inspired by the skills and confidence developed through Blend Creative’s development program and Bedford’s Learning and Experiences programs, the works are expressive, thoughtful and deeply personal.

Out of the Bloom celebrates creativity as a powerful tool for self-discovery, showcasing the diverse talents and voices of Bedford's artistic community.

The exhibition is open at The Exchange from July 29 to August 21, 2026.

Join us for the opening of Out of the Bloom on Wednesday, July 29, from 2.00pm – 4.00pm.

This exhibition will be officially opened by Katrine Hildyard MP, celebrating the artists and the creative work on display.
