Artists take up residence in the museum

Great excitement here today, as three artists install their artwork in the museum, ready for the opening of the Art Trail tomorrow at 10am.

Rosemary Millar is setting out her stunning pieces of jewellery (sterling silver and semi-precious stones) in our display cabinets.  The display is an artwork in itself – you’ll want to see how beautifully the pieces are arranged!

Colin Wise is hanging his pictures – all kinds of subjects in different media – watercolours, acrylics and oils.

And Annalisa Thompson, displaying at the museum for the first time, is arranging her beautiful threadwork pictures – really intricate and skilful works of art.

Our wonderful volunteers are pulling out all the stops and are opening the museum every day of the Art Trail, from 10am to 4pm (Sundays included).  We hope to see lots of you coming in to browse the artworks, chatting to the friendly artists – and having a roam through the rest of our small museum.  It’s all free (and there are even things for the children to do while you’re here).

The artists will be here from Friday 3 May to Sunday 12 May, 10am to 4pm each day.

Roll up, roll up!
