Chaos & Calm: New Free Art Exhibition Opens at 5 Green’s Road
Art enthusiasts in Cambridge have a unique opportunity to experience a study in artistic contrasts this August. The Chaos & Calm exhibition, hosted at 5 Green’s Road, brings together the distinct creative voices of artists Katie Clarke and Mandy Lowton for a three-day showcase of paintings and prints.
Exhibition Dates and Visiting Details
The exhibition is open to the public from Friday, 21 August 2026, through Sunday, 23 August 2026. Daily opening hours are 12:00 pm to 6:00 pm. Entry is entirely free, and there is no requirement to book for these general viewing sessions.
For those seeking a more exclusive experience, a private viewing is scheduled for the evening of Friday, 21 August, from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm. While this session is also free, it requires advance registration. Interested attendees should secure their spot via the Eventbrite link provided on the official Visit Cambridge events page.
The Artistic Dialogue: Clarke and Lowton
The exhibition is curated to highlight the conversation between two contrasting styles. Katie Clarke’s work is defined by the use of acrylics, resulting in layered, botanical forms and vibrant, energetic abstraction. Her pieces are intended to evoke a strong emotional response through their bold use of colour.
In direct dialogue with Clarke’s work, Mandy Lowton presents a series of watercolours that shift the focus toward atmospheric, luminous landscapes. These works are designed to invite a sense of stillness and quiet reflection. By placing these two approaches side-by-side, the exhibition aims to explore the full spectrum of human experience—capturing both the chaotic energy and the calm moments of our daily lives. Visitors will find a range of items available for viewing and purchase, including original paintings, prints, and smaller works, ensuring options for a variety of spaces and budgets.
Practical Information for Attendees
Designed with a relaxed, low-pressure atmosphere, the exhibition welcomes all members of the public. The venue at 5 Green’s Road is accessible, featuring mostly flat terrain to accommodate visitors. Additionally, the organizers have confirmed that assistance dogs are welcome at the venue.
Whether you are an art collector looking for a new piece or simply someone seeking a quiet moment to appreciate the interplay of colour and light, the exhibition offers an accessible local cultural experience. For those planning to attend, remember that the only session requiring a pre-booked ticket is the Friday evening private viewing; all other times are open-access, allowing you to drop in at your leisure during the 12:00 pm to 6:00 pm window.
