'It Takes a Village'
Ditchling Museum of Art + Craft
Since March 2024, the Methodist Survivors Advisory Group and the Methodist Modern Art Collection Management Committee have been working with Ditchling Museum of Art + Craft. The result will be a collections display titled It Takes a Village that will open in July 2025, including Annunciation by Eric Gill, that will reinterpret this work from the perspective of survivors.
