‘Tizzart Colours’

Susan Homewood Watercolours

We accept fewer than 20% of the artists that request an exhibition with us. With Sue, there was never any doubts that we had found a new talent with a unique and very personal style. If you enjoy something different yet with popular appeal, this is for you..

‘Wild Again’

Carole Woodley Acrylics & Pastels

Carole’s work delighted all that saw it at her first exhibition with us in 2006. Now, with all new works, she’s destined to surprise and delight once again. We’re very honoured that Carole has chosen ‘Half a Sixpence once again.

‘Kentish Landscapes’

Eric Buckman Watercolours

We are always looking for talented artists who specialise in the landscapes of Kent but rarely find someone whose work truly inspires us. We were impressed with Eric’s
watercolours immediately we saw them and are delighted to be hosting his exhibition.

6th. Jun—8th. July

‘Footprints in the Sand’

David Jones Travel Photography
When David first showed us his travel photography, we were immediately impressed. This is his first exhibition with us and we are quite sure it will be a great success. Don’t miss it!

Pilgrims Hospices Event

Various /T.B.A

Our chosen charity has always been the Pilgrims hospices in Kent. It gives us great pleasure to open our gallery to them in order to help raise much needed funds. The actual content of the exhibition is yet to be decided bot will be well worth seeing. Please support this, your local hospice.
