October. When the green leaves fade to gold and brown, eventually falling to the ground. Autumn is finally here. In this months newsletter you can find out more information about our current exhibition, upcoming workshops and our Halloween and Christmas comedy evenings!
Autumn’s Golden Palette - An exhibition of paintings by Hazel Money
This collection of work features the colours we most associate with this wonderful time of year, and one of Hazel’s favourites. As trees lose their leaves and change to a palette of golden hues, they slowly reveal a sculptural core of branches, just perfect for a landscape painter.
The exhibition is open to the public Monday - Friday 10am - 4pm, until Friday 21st October. We recommend calling ahead of your visit and the centre may be closed to visitors on occasion due to other events taking place.
Find out more about Hazel and her upcoming exhibition in our latest blog post.
