'All Over the Place' opening night

Come one come all to our next exhibition opening! 'All Over the Place: Drawing Place, Drawing Space' opens tomorrow evening from 6-8pm at SAB Gallery. Among the 17 artists involved, 4 are lecturers in the School of Design. All are inspired by the relationship between space/place and drawing - with varied resulting images.







Hope to see you tomorrow, and if not, the show is on until 23 October 2010.

Have a great summer!

Another interesting app, perhaps more daft than edifying!

'Write Me a Picture' creative writing workshops

The Stanley & Audrey Burton Gallery invites you all to attend a series of creative writing/art workshops, 'Write Me a Picture'. Run by local poets Suzannah Evans, David Tait and Rosie Blagg, the 3 workshops (all different) investigate the relationship between visual art and verbal creativity. Participants will draw inspiration from the artworks on display to create prose and poetry responses.

This cross-displinary workshop should be of great interest to those of you who are interested in Gallery education and in creative ways of interpreting art. The first workshop runs this Sat, 5 June, 1.30-4pm, and subsequent sessions are 26 June and 17 July.

The workshops are £5/£4 concession rate. Book your place with Suzannah Evans directly by email: evans.suzie@googlemail.com.
