ACID FOLK ART
Founded in the Winter of ‘22, WYTCH is the beginning of a project that is the culmination of a life’s interest in the visual arts, psychedelia, magick and the strange.
We’ve opened a shop in Ventnor, on the Isle of Wight
In June 2024, Molly and I (Syd) opened WYTCH at 39 Ventnor High Street. The shop features my own work, some of which was recently exhibited (and created) at Dimbola in Freshwater (click here to read more about the work). We also have an eclectic collection of esoterica, curiosities and antiques that we have gathered for your perusal. We’ve been blown away by the reception we have received in Ventnor, and we are continually restocking the shop and keeping it fresh. Our latest additions are three beautiful paintings by the incredible emerging artist Lilium Wilkinson O'Dwyer.
At the moment we are open every Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 9-5
Please pop in and say hello :)
