Spring Exhibition P V


Thank you everyone who came to the Private View for The Spring Exhibition. It was a brilliant night. A special thanks goes out to Sarah Dyble who managed to play her harp continuously for the whole evening. All profits raised from her performance went to her chosen charity, Childreach International.
Due to popular demand we will be extending the show till Sunday 16th May. So if you havn't made it down yet, now is your chance!

Minestrone

Well we have our first show booked!! 'Minestrone'. It is a group exhibition organised by painter, Becky Rose. A mixture of mediums and a heavy helping of artists plans to make this show a perfect start for the new gallery.

The concept is simple: add some fresh artists, season with different venues and serve piping hot!

Artists from all along the south coast; Falmouth to London, Brighton to Chichester are coming together, not only in the Joy Gallery but in the Guildhall too. This makes an interesting relationship between two gallery sites that are only a stones throw apart.


The Exhibition will start on Monday 1st March 2010 and finish on Saturday27th March 2010.

The Private view: TBC

Artists involved so far:

Ben Pickersgill



















Alex Overthrow














Charlotte Brooks
















Mike Stout













Jessicca Madeley













Hannah Morrison









Amy Albright
























Harry Rose



















Don't miss out on your tasty helpings of art.
