"MODO is proud to support the inaugural Cambridgeshire Plein Air Artist of the Year Award by exhibiting the winning works. As a gallery rooted in both innovation and accessibility, we see this as an opportunity to spotlight new talent while encouraging fresh ways of engaging with art. We believe galleries should reflect the diversity of their communities and offer spaces where everyone—especially children—can feel comfortable, curious, and welcome. Through this collaboration, we hope to help reframe what a gallery can be: not just a place to look at or buy art, but a place to belong, for everyone." Sally Clarke, Owner, Modo Gallery, Cambridge
