Westbury Arts Centre - Artful Connections: From The Drawing Board
Westbury Arts Centre, Foxcovert Road, Shenley Wood, Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, MK5 6AA
AC@W member and Studio holder at Westbury Arts Centre, Joanna Stone, is bringing the Artful Connections group again to the Barn Gallery at Westbury Arts Centre on 20th and 21st September.
Artful Connections, are a group of local artists and crafts people who met originally through Artists Network Bedfordshire and have formed a fellowship over more than fifteen years, nurturing eachother’s creativity through informal meetups, sharing of practice, drawing/painting/making sessions, and visits to exhibitions.
These artists are also variously associated with The ArtistCollective@Westbury, the Visual Images Group in Bucks., the Eagle Gallery Co Operative in Bedford, and The Wynd Gallery in Letchworth.
Each takes inspiration from their surroundings, be it natural forms, people, landscape or weather, and transforms these impressions through their own personal methods.
“From the Drawing Board” offers a glimpse into each individual artist’s imagination, showing interpretations and carefully re-imagined structures that occur in nature and within our minds.
Set in beautiful gardens and hidden away from the rush and toil of the rest of Milton Keynes, Westbury is an historic, atmospheric place - home for The Artist Collective @ Westbury who have their studios there. The Barn Gallery is the ancient building across the car park from the main house at Westbury and is itself a very inspiring space.
