Down the road on King’s Parade, pop into Byard Art for Exhibition of Prints, 2022 , which runs until 13 March. On Green
Street, Extraordinary Objects is commemorating women’s history month with the launch of Salute on 25 March – an all-female display which boasts limited edition and original works by local artists and big names like Bridget Riley, Jenny Holzer and Tracey Emin. For something different, head to All Saints’ Church on Jesus Lane between 17 and 26 March for Fabulation . It features four artists with a connection to Cambridge, who have made pieces inspired by the Victorian church’s elaborately decorated, medieval-style interiors.
