Legion is an unknown group of artists, unknown in number, unknown in identity.
Legion meet and create, together or alone but in the same place.
Legion has no leader, Legion is whoever turns up.
Legion is not for money or fame but for creativity and shared experience.
Legion believes that more is possible in numbers, for we are many.

"Anonymous is an eclectic mix of art work from local, national and international artists but you will never know who they are (except, of course, if you recognise familiar work). This anonymity releases the artist and the viewer from the idea of celebrity and power of the author, the weight given to a work of art by the name of it's creator and the presumption of the viewer. All that is left is the work itself, stripped bare and seen for what it is. This process also provides an opportunity for artists to present work that does not fall into their usual pigeon holes, experimental work and work they would not want the audience to associate with them, for whatever reason."
