Meet the Artist Day
Hello to all you lovely readers; time has come once again for one of our periodic updates on events here at the gallery. To start things off, our Meet the Artist Day with Tony Machin was a roaring success with plenty of enthralled visitors gushing over the fantastic paintings, some of whom had no hesitation in buying their favourites, as though it were love at first sight! Thankfully for us, these customers are waiting until the end of the exhibition to pick up their newly purchased paintings, so there’s still time to come and see them for yourselves if you haven’t had the time to yet!
Given the positive reaction on the day, as well as all the cheerful comments for the art we’ve since received, we are privileged to have another day that we are calling Artist in Action Day, where you can visit the gallery and not only meet Tony but witness his creative process in action as he paints one of his lovely pieces right here in the gallery for all to see! This shall take place on Saturday 1st of October and, like the previous meet the artist event, will be on all day with complimentary wine or soft drink on arrival and other refreshments available for purchase throughout.
As it happens, this Artist in Action Day takes place during the Somerset Art Weeks, an event taking place from the 24th September to the 9th October. As the name might suggest, it’s a celebration of all kinds of art and artists throughout the whole of Somerset, whom we are very happy to be counted amongst. Whilst we hope you will come visit the gallery and join us for a guided tour or a joyful conversation on art, we also highly recommend that you check out the other locations that are taking part in this yearly creative endeavour. You might be surprised as to just how many people and places have come together again in an explosion of creativity and colour, with a great variety of art to see and experience. For us at the gallery, it is truly inspiring to be a part of such a large collection of enthusiastic artists.
A collection of new items arriving shortly
Please be aware we will not be available on Saturday the 24th September, the first day of the Somerset Art Weeks, as the gallery will be closed whilst staff attend a wedding. The silver lining to this however is that upon our return we will have a collection of new products coming to the gallery in the form of goblets, decorative shields, shoes, axes, tankards and possibly more. In fact, if you visit the gallery on the approach to this date, you might just get a sneak peek of these items as they’re being made.
Well, that’s it for now folks, as always stay safe, and we hope to see you all very soon!
