Inspiring Summer Exhibition closes on 7th September!

The Art Gallery by Aga Kubish is situated just opposite the Plaza in Weston and is a gem of a find. Wonderful variety of work responding to the theme of Somerset. Well worth a visit. Very pleased to have three of my monotypes on show there. You could tie a visit in with The Gallery on St. Margaret’s Terrace which has a fantastic photography exhibition on until Saturday 6th.

Clevedon Art Club’s Open Exhibition was a great success!

Both visitor numbers and sales were up and it’s no surprise as the standard of work on show was of high calibre. Thanks to the selectors and all the organisers. I really enjoyed taking part both exhibiting and stewarding. Now looking forward to the members exhibition in the spring….

Last few days! Open Thurs – Sat 10am – 5pm and Sunday 10am – 4pm.

After two very successful shows in this quirky, contemporary art gallery (just off Weston’s seafront at 5 St. Margaret’s Street, BS23 1AH), this exhibition showcases some new artists with a variety of work from ceramics to painting, jewellery to printmaking and some drawings thrown in for good measure. With some excellent visitor feedback this is well worth a visit.
