The Star Brewery is honoured to host the exhibition 'An Artist's Life', celebrating the remarkable works created throughout the lifetime of Mike Cooper.
Mike was an extraordinary artist whose creativity and dedication left a lasting mark on both the local and national art communities, as well as on the Star Brewery itself.
During the 1980s, he played a vital role in saving the historic Star Brewery from demolition. It was transformed into a thriving centre for creativity — home to artist workshops — and in 1989 the Gallery first opened its doors, becoming an invaluable art space for the town that we continue to enjoy today.
Curated by his son, Richard Cooper, this exhibition stands as a tribute to Mike Cooper's talent and lifelong artistic passion.
