2010 Exhibition Programme
With the first full year of running three galleries, our 2010 exhibition programme is very busy but also very varied. We have tried to stagger the timetable of exhibition changes to make sure there is always something to see - we have managed this in most cases. The information for the full year is with our printers and will soon be available as our Exhibitions and Events 2010 Leaflet. To wet your appetite all the information is on the What's on Guide on the left of this column. Please let us know if you would like a copy of the printed leaflet sending.
Currently in the Crew Yard Gallery is Clocks and Jewellery by Jill Stewart, Jill's work in mixed metals has items for the walls of your home and as well as delicate individual pieces jewellery for yourself.
In the Barn Gallery until 7 March is The Patchings Art Club Exhibition. This is an annual show of work by our Club Members, a group who really enjoy their art as can be seen by the variety of subjects, techniques and styles. For 2010 the exhibition marks an anniversary later in the year, as the Membership celebrates their 20th birthday.
In the Rafters Gallery we have an exhibition of landscape and travel photography by the award winning Chris Upton.The Way I See It clearly illustrates Chris's talent and shows the importance of composition in photography. Some familiar subjects from the UK and overseas adds to the pleasure of viewing this exhibition.
Please remember this year's The Artist and Leisure Painter Patchings National Open Art Competition 2010.The next few monthly issues of The Artist and Leisure Painter magazines will have all the entry details.
