Art 21 Summer Exhibition

Brancaster Village Hall, on the A149 Coast Road through the village,
Friday the 8th to Sunday the 10th of July.
10.00am- 5.00pm

Art 21 is a small but very enthusiastic group of artists who meet every week to paint together in Dersingham.

Once a year they like to exhibit their work to the public, and this year their exhibition will be at Brancaster Village Hall.

The subjects, styles and mediums of the artwork on show, is very varied, including watercolours, oils, acrylics, pastels and silks, depicting coast and countryside and the flora and fauna of the area. From miniatures to large canvases, something to appeal to everyone.
Members will be on duty to offer a warm welcome to visitors every day, and of course admission is free.

Do drop in over the weekend, and enjoy meeting the artists, and chatting about their work.

WNAA Spring Exhibition 2022 in Pictures

Our first exhibition this year, held over the Easter weekend, was a great success with 430 visitors over the 4 days. It was so nice to be back at Thornham after three years and the weather was very kind to us, which made it even better.  Thanks to all who made this happen – the helpers and invigilators, as well as Izzy Wingham and John Lawson, who curated this time.

Visiting Grayson Perry: The Pre – Therapy Years

Helen and I ventured out for the first time for months, having had all our jabs and now feel we can move around again with relative safety.

Grayson Perry: The Pre – Therapy Years exhibition is coming to an end at the Sainsbury Centre so we booked tickets for Sunday afternoon.

Always entertaining, Grayson didn’t disappoint.

I guess he is Marmite to many, and we were able to get a good idea of how he has been able to become an established artist showing us his fantasies inscribed on his ceramic pots and plates as an art student from 1982 and 1994.

If you watch Throw Down on Channel 4 you will get some clue to the pottery skills. 
Philippa Perry is depicted largely on the artwork and from his beautiful sketchbooks you can visualise how these ideas are modelled on the pottery.

I have included some photos of the artwork on display and spared you the rawer elements which have been smoothed out by therapy!

You can’t help admiring his artistic career from crossdresser, Turner prize winner to TV presenter, CBE, RA.

“I love Hue” App review

Sometimes we all need a mindless distraction. However, downloading this app onto my phone made me think. In fact it sent me down a rabbit hole of colour definition and what is “hue”.

The app’s premise is very simple. You start off with some coloured squares which are arranged in terms of gradient of colour and hue, you press start, it jumbles them up and you must restore harmony. Continue reading →

WNAA Autumn Exhibition 2021 in Pictures

What a fantastic exhibition it was! Over 50 members entered their work and we had so much praise from the visitors.

Our exhibitions are an opportunity to show off our creativity, but it is also great to meet other artists and this is a real bonus of belonging to the WNAA.
