Future Exhibitions

Outside In

In April we welcome Merseyside artist Maxine Shisselle. Maxine started painting at a very early age, moving on at 13 to Liverpool Art High School and eventually to a Fine Art Degree at Wirral Metropolitan College.

For this exhibition she has focused on figurative and impressionistic works, many of them with Merseyside subjects. Click on the image of Maxine's "Design Pool" above to see more.

In her own words:-

"I find my inspiration in the familiar, everyday images that surround our environment and landscape and become completely absorbed with their colour, textures and design."

The exhibition opens on the 7th April and runs until the 16th. Open 12 to 4pm Monday to Friday.

Recent Exhibitions

Bags and Baggage

The new year started as usual with a themed open exhibition. This year it was on the subject of Bags and Baggage. Artisits were invited to submit a work on the subject of bags - shopping bags, handbags, suitcases, duffel bags, any sot of bag. The only constraint was that bags had to be a central theme in the work.

A large collection of bags and luggage of all sizes was also on view - many with interesting tales.

Previous Exhibitions Button

We now have over a hundred pages of previous exhibitions which, as just a list, is a bit unwieldy to use.

So, to improve things, we have added some new processing so that you can search the information in these pages looking for artists, topics etc. Hopefully, over the next few months, we will apply the same technique to the Artists selection process to bring that into this century.

Press the "Previous Exhibitions" button on the left and give it a try, and please, let us know any problems you have with it or any suggestions you may have for improvments.
