EXHIBITIONS. Entry to the visual arts gallery is absolutely free, so please drop in any time. From local amateur artwork to contemporary craft or photography, our programme is mixed so our exhibitions appeal to all tastes. What kind of visual arts inspire you? Remember to share your thoughts in our comments folder!
BRENDA HAYDEN AND TOM CRASK 5 April – 6 May Two artists present their collections of artwork, inspired by the natural world. Brenda’s painting, prints and mixed media work seeks to explore the landscape at the point where land meets sea. Wood and water have been a running theme in both her large-scale paintings and her intimate etchings. Whereas, Tom’s three-dimensional memory boxes are created and compiled from found objects in beautiful handcrafted glass-fronted containers.
MIKE MACGREGOR
A BRUSH WITH THE PAST 10 May – 10 June Mike MacGregor captures the life and times of people from a past era in his beautiful and atmospheric pieces. Mike aims to assist the viewer to journey back in time to revisit instances of a vanished life, by creating paintings which are variously funny, sad, beautiful or tragic.
CHERNOBYL’S ZONE OF ALIENATION 14 June – 8 July Witness the fragility of life and the enduring power of nature, following the Chernobyl nuclear disaster in 1986. This exhibition is the result of Darren’s four days in the 30km exclusion zone around the infamous nuclear power plant, taking infrared photos of the ghost town, which was once home to 50 thousand people.
OPEN EXHIBITION
FASTER, HIGHER, STRONGER 13 July – 12 August
This is our annual open exhibition, which this year celebrates the Olympics coming to London. The exhibition is a collection of artwork by local and regional artists in response to the Olympic motto – faster, higher, stronger. Expect sport-inspired images, as well as other interpretations of the phrase. If you create artwork and it fits with the theme, we would love you to apply. Closing date is Sunday 20 May. See our website for details.
