On Sunday, 3rd August 2025 the official opening of the Mind Climate art exhibition took place at Lamport Hall. The Mayor of Kettering Town, Councillor Ben Jameson conducted the ribbon cutting ceremony at 16:15h in front of a crowd of art lovers and supporters.
The exhibition was curated by leading artist Rah Flynn, a prize-winning X-Ray, Surgical Installation Artist and practising Diagnostic Radiographer. She explains "My art reveals the unseen, exploring perception and connection". She prompts the audience to explore "Why do you care about things? Why don't you? What are your motivations?"
Rah was awarded a solo exhibition by Lamport Trust and Northants and Rutland Open Studios (NROS) but chose to invite other like minded Northamptonshire artists. The exhibition invites visitors to examine their relationships with themselves, wider society and their behaviour with in our world.
