This specially curated exhibition takes place right after the summer solstice and across midsummer's day, featuring the artistic creations of up to nine talented artists who have captured the essence of this brief season. Traditionally, midsummer's day symbolised the midpoint of the growing season, marking the halfway point between planting and harvest. Some still hold the belief that good weather on this day predicts a bountiful harvest, while the gathering of flowers remains a significant aspect of modern midsummer traditions in many countries. In ancient times, pagans regarded midsummer as a magical time of new beginnings, celebrated through festivals and bonfires.
