Wallflowers

Overview

We all know a wallflower. You know, the person at the party who blends into the background? The friend you can't bring anywhere because they drag the fun down? Well sistah/bruvva, you were wrong. The wallflowers are fighting for their right to be seen and talked to in the corridors of your best friend's parents' house. No longer will they be criticised for choosing to sit on the couch nursing the same vodka and lemonade all night, nor will they stop luring an unsuspecting drunk into a D&M about the universe. All the wallflowers of last weekend have a team of artists behind them, rooting for their integral place in our young event-going lives. While the term 'Wallflower' is sometimes seen as a negative thing, on Friday, it'll be like topsy turvy land. The wallflowers will be celebrated and the other party favourites will fade into the background. Ken Smith, Maddy Young and Zoe Hughes + others will be at Bleeding Heart gallery launching their Wallflowers group art exhibition. There's a licensed bar and the show will run til the 19^th. Get your awkwardness on and show your support for local art and a pretty cool idea.
