Donald Holden Exhibition Garstang August 2010
Donald Holden
August 3rd - 26th 2010

 

Donald is a retired Art Teacher who worked for 35 years in Lancashire Schools. He spent several years as moderator for G.C.S.E. Art and Design, visiting many schools within the County to assess work. He retired as Head of Arts and Technology from Mansfield High School, Brierfield.

 

Since retiring Donald has devoted most of his time to painting, constantly experimenting with ideas and materials in an attempt to create works which are personal to him. Based primarily on the Landscape his work has its origins in drawings and colour studies, developing these into paintings which are about a place, rather than a depiction of it.

 

He undertakes lectures and demonstrations for Art Societies and exhibits quite widely in the North West. One of his paintings, “Extwistle Hall,” featured in the Lancashire Life magazine in January 2010.

Beverley Chapelhow and Keith Parkinson exhibition at the Sultan
Beverley Chapelhow and Keith Parkinson exhibition at the Sultan
Melt – Concealed Forms. Motifs that transform to greater or lesser degrees with heat and light.   Beverley’s chocolate and cake inspired images of sumptuous, sensuous delights describe her passion for her subject matter and the media she works in.   Keith’s landscape derived images express his wonder at how light conditions can transform tranquil locations into dramatic images.   Both work along a broad band between figurative and abstract work. Ends November.

Wray Lancashire scarecrow

Wray Scarecrow Festival.
wray scarecrow poster 2010
All through the winter the quaintly snowed-in rural folk of Wray Village have been eccentrically passing the time engaged in their indigenous craft - making fabulous scarecrows! The streets, lanes and alleyways of this picturesque village will be populated by tableaux and fantasy creations on all kinds of themes - politics, TV and more. I think we can expect some royal scarecrows for sure. There will be delicious and cheap home-made refreshments in Wray Institute all week. There will be a display of costumes and flowers 'Moments in Time' with music at Holy Trinity Church. David and Goliath Rap Mon-Fri Wray school 11am + 2pm. The Festival kicks off today with the St George's Day celebrations, and finishes with the big fair on May Monday. Don't miss this. You just have to go. If our council had any sense they'd organise special buses. See www.wrayvillage.co.uk/scarecrows.htm for a stack of info or tel: 01524 32878.

ANNOUNCING NEW DATES FOR THE  FRESH CONTEMPORARY ARTS MARKET:

What: Fresh on the Market is a new initiative that has been set up in order to provide local artists, designers and makers the opportunity to sell their work in the heart of the city. It extends the ethos of PAD the new contemporary store and gallery space located on Church Street enlivening the city centre, and providing additional quality shopping. It will encourage networking and idea exchange as well as providing significant potential for attracting a new audience to the city, enhancing Preston's image as a creative and cultural European city.

Who: Anyone is welcome to take a stall to sell anything creative. It could be paintings, sculpture, ceramics, jewellery, fashion, music, furniture, toys, photographs ¦ As long as you make or produce it yourself!

Where: The location will be the Old Fish Market off Earl Street, Preston or the larger Market when appropriate.

The Fresh Contemporary Art Markets will build on last years progress! These markets are a great sales opportunity for local designer makers, craftspeople and artists, stalls cost from  ¡£14 and can be shared between artists.

They also make for a great alternative shopping experience on a leisurely Sunday. This year we hope to include food produce and flowers on the markets, so there will be even more reason to come along and shop!

Great Northern Contemporary Craft Fair    Great Northern Contemporary Craft Fair is Back For Third Year

Now in its third year, the contemporary craft buying event will feature 150 designer-makers in ceramics, jewellery, textiles, glass, furniture and other fashion, home and interior products.
