Reading Guild of Artists issued a challenge to all its members to produce artwork inspired by Reading Gaol. This exhibition is made up of those challenge responses and other works produced by members over the past few years and included by invitation. The exhibition is in two parts – an online exhibition and an augmented reality gallery of some of the works displayed on the walls of Reading Gaol.
