New artists’ group makes exhibition of itself
The Ashdown Artists and Artisans Group, is holding a major visual arts exhibition on 13 February
The Ashdown Artists and artisans are building on the runaway success of its inaugural event and holding a major visual arts exhibition in February. More than 1000 people – buyers, art critics and the media (local and national) – attended its Christmas fair in late November.
“Our February exhibition will be a showcase for highly-talented visual artists – painters, sculptors and photographers – from the local area. There will be some superb work on display. A lot of our artists are already highly successful and many others are very much up and coming. This is a fantastic opportunity for people to see, enjoy and invest in top quality examples of their work,” says Cathie Hubert, events co-ordinator .
The exhibition will be held in the Dick Chester rooms at Michael Hall School, Forest Row on the 13 February, 10am – 4pm. There will a private press viewing at 7pm on Friday 12 February.
Ashdown Forest has long been home to a wealth of artists and artisans of all sorts – from painters, installation artists, sculptors and photographers, to musicians, actors, storytellers and writers.
The group is, for the very first time, bringing these artists and artisans together to exchange ideas and skills, support each other and help each other develop and promote their diverse and beautiful work as widely as possible.
Managed by a committee of artists, t is open to anyone who lives in or close to the Ashdown Forest area and who creates with their hands. All are welcome, from established painters, sculptors and craftspeople to people who simply love to create and make things.
