Welcome to the “ART for Planet Earth” exhibition! As you explore the captivating artworks, let’s take a moment to reflect on our planet’s oceans. 🌊
Did you know that our oceans are facing a serious problem? There’s an alarming amount of garbage—plastic, debris, and waste—polluting these vast blue expanses. And here’s a jaw-dropping fact: In 2017, at the bottom of the Mariana Trench—a mind-boggling 10 kilometers deep in the Pacific Ocean (considered the deepest part of the world’s oceans)—a robotic submersible made some unexpected discoveries.
Hold your breath (or gasp, as you prefer) because down there, amidst the darkness and pressure, our intrepid explorer found:
So, as you admire the artistry around you, remember that our oceans need our attention and care. Let’s create more beauty and less garbage. And hey, feel free to share this mind-boggling oceanic trivia with your friends—it’s a conversation starter that’ll leave them both interested and horrified! 🌎🎨🌟
And don’t forget to visit the “ART for Planet Earth” exhibition. We invite you and encourage you to share this eye-opening experience with others. Let’s raise awareness together! 🌊🎉

The Rooftop Arts Centre in Corby has been featured in a recent article by the Northants Telegraph. The article highlights our efforts in bringing world-renowned street artist Banksy to Corby as part of our ongoing mission to elevate the cultural profile of our town.
The article, titled “The People Who Brought Banksy to Corby,” discusses how our collaboration with Essex-based Brandler Galleries has made it possible to host the “Steel Nerve” exhibition, which showcases works by Banksy, Tracey Emin, Damien Hirst, and other prominent artists. This exhibition is a testament to our commitment to making art accessible to everyone in the community.
Dinah Kazakoff, our Gallery Director, expressed her pride in presenting such a high-caliber exhibition in Corby. She emphasized that our goal is to create a space where the community can connect with the arts and participate in workshops and exhibitions.
We are grateful for the recognition and support from the Northants Telegraph and look forward to continuing our efforts to bring more incredible art to Corby. Stay tuned for more updates and upcoming events at the Rooftop Arts Centre!
