FRANCIS EVERETT

We were saddened to learn of the untimely death of Frances Everett earlier this year.

Her husband, Bryan and the family have decided to stage her planned summer exhibition in her memory. We completely agree that this is what she would have wanted, and are honoured to be involved.

Frances’ art evoked local sensitivity and we know this exhibition will be a fitting remembrance to her many friends and admirers.

The exhibition, entitled ‘Out and About’ will be officially opened by Frances’ family on Saturday, 10th. July and will run until Tuesday, 11th. August. All are welcome.

CHANGE OF EXHIBITION PROGRAMME

We regret that due to circumstances beyond our control, Matthew Penn's exhibition, 'A Kentish Life' has been cancelled. However, our good friend Lorraine Harrison has stepped into the breach to ensure we don't have an empty gallery.

As ever, Lorraine will be showing a wide range of her distinctive watercolours and etchings including many that have not been seen before. All in all, something for everyone.

She will be at the Gallery on Saturday, 6th. June from 10am until 4.30pm for the official opening of the exhibition to which all are cordially invited. Light refreshments will be served.
