H-M-S
Providing opportunities for artists
The next event is participation in Platforms Project 2022, an artist-led art fair held in Athens Art School. Jackie has invited 17 artists with different approaches to telling stories of people and place.
H-M-S is an initiative built on the success of Harrington Mill Studios (2007–18). The studios and gallery were established by Jackie Berridge over a decade ago to provide work spaces and opportunities for fine artists. As well as hosting shows by local, national and international artists, the studios also organised artist exchanges and exhibitions in places as far away as Chicago, Seoul, Stockholm, Honfleur and Athens.
