The Channel Islands Contemporary Art Show 2026

ArtHouse Jersey and Art for Guernsey are delighted to announce the second edition of The Channel Islands Contemporary Art Show following the inaugural joint show in 2024.

Abandoned, faithful, and on trial for heresy.In 1556, three ordinary women found themselves at the centre of a trial that spiralled into accusations of heresy; Perotine Massey, Guillemine Gilbert, and Catherine Cauchés were later dubbed ‘The Guernsey Martyrs’. Perotine is a new novel inspired by this dramatic true tale.Deeply entrenched in the landscape of the island at the time, the novel draws on themes of nature, foraging, and isolation, exploring the additional challenges that the natural world posed during a period of religious upheaval and hostility.Join Dreena Collins as she discusses the women’s lives and trial, the challenges of retelling this story, and how the landscape of Guernsey helped to shape her narrative.Come along to hear more about these emotive events and enjoy select readings from the novel, while enjoying the artworks on display.The development of this novel were supported by an ArtHouse Jersey Development Grant.
