Faces and body language tell us so much about a person – who they are, how they feel and sometimes even what they're thinking. Some make us smile, some spark our curiosity and some seem to reveal something of the person behind them. Facing Now celebrates the many different ways artists capture people, bringing together striking contemporary portraits by internationally recognised artists alongside exciting emerging talent from Jersey and the Channel Islands. From beautifully observed drawings and paintings to bold, unexpected works, it's an exhibition full of personality, creativity and surprising encounters.

At the heart of the exhibition is the inaugural ArtHouse Jersey Portrait Award, celebrating portrait artists from Jersey and across the Channel Islands. Shortlisted works will be exhibited alongside portraits by acclaimed artists including Wilfrid Wood, Iness Rychlik, Olympia McEwan, Curtis Holder, Derrick Guild, Martyn Harris and Jason Butler, creating a vibrant conversation between local and international perspectives on portraiture today.

Alongside the exhibition, enjoy a vibrant programme of talks, workshops and creative experiences for all ages. Highlights include Plasticine portrait-making with acclaimed artist Wilfrid Wood, family portrait sessions, life drawing, live painting demonstrations and a special Valentine's portrait evening.
