CURRENT / UPCOMING EXHIBITIONS
FREE-TO-VIEW
NATURE AND CULTURE: A COLLECTIVE INTERPRETATION
AN EXHIBITION BY MEMBERS OF THE ARTIST COLLECTIVE @ WESTBURY
Fri 4 Jul – Wed 16 Jul
Main Gallery
An exciting opportunity to view the work of these exceptional artists in Aylesbury. The exhibition comprises works by members of the Artist Collective @ Westbury, in a variety of media, that explore natural and cultural themes.
Works interpret internal and external landscapes as well as the relationship between the natural world and the human world, through representation, abstraction, colour and form.
THE TUESDAY COLLECTIVE
A LIFE DRAWING EXHIBITION
Sat 28 Jun – Fri 18 Jul
Artisan Subway Gallery
Tuesday evening life-drawing classes are led by artist Ayşe Kongur and the fruits of the artists’ labour are going on display as the “Tuesday Collective” group exhibition.
Since its revival in January 2024 the Tuesday evening tutored life-drawing classes have gained popularity and strong bonds have been built over the weeks. Creative friendship and camaraderie have made it possible to extend artistic practice.
Various studies – rapid sketches and longer analytical figurative drawings – have been selected for showcasing observational skills, artistic expression and technical ability.
