Previous Events

The Redsuit Project by Janet McEwan
Opening Sunday 1 May 6-8pm. All welcome!
Exhibition runs until Thursday 26 May.

A red suited figure is the recurring, though slightly mysterious presence, in a montage of photographic images taken in locations near and far by both amateur photographers and professional artists.
These performative and playful pictures were taken in response to an invitation by artist Janet McEwan to take a disposable red coverall and photograph the red character in a place of choice.

Gay Halley, Irene Strachan and Mena Castledine
Opening Thursday 2 June 6-8pm. All welcome!
Exhibition runs until Thursday 28 June.

Gay Halley’s semi-abstract and abstract work is about the expressive use of colour, shape and form. She has an eclectic range of subjects from sky, sea, mountainscape and even graffiti on an Italian door. Irene Strachan finds inspiration in geometric form. Her work has a linear quality that she softens with layers of colour. Her aim is to combine form, balance, tone and harmony. Mena Castledine is a sculptor who works with recycled metal using welding and brazing techniques. She is inspired by organic forms, animals and their reaction to the natural world.
