Seventeen artists, one venue, a wealth of art
The Breckland Artists bring a new and vibrant exhibition to Wymondham this November with three additional artists.
Breckland Artists are a diverse group of seventeen artists, living and working in the south west of the county, who originally got together following participation in the Norfolk Open Studios scheme. In 2012, Breckland Artists celebrated their tenth anniversary. The group’s longevity and appeal owes much to the diversity of subject matter and the range of techniques employed.
The group, which includes artists specialising in painting, printmaking, sculpture, ceramics, glass, photography and textiles, will be bringing an eclectic and vibrant mix of work to Wymondham Arts Centre to delight and inspire the people of Norfolk.
Roger Gamble, Chairman and one of the founder members said, “Our 2012 exhibition at Wymondham Arts Centre was extremely well received and we are delighted to be returning with a new selection of work. We hope that visitors in 2013 will share our passion for the visual arts and enjoy the work on show.”
New artist, Les Williams, will be exhibiting his pen and wash drawings. Les, who trained at the Princes Drawing School, produces his drawings on location to capture the moment and finds inspiration in the life and buildings of the city of London.
This will also be the first time that new artist member, Marie Dawe, exhibits at Wymondham with Breckland Artists. Marie is an artist specialising in fused glass and her work is an exciting new addition to the group.
The 2013 Wymondham exhibition also sees the welcome return of painter Jane Wareham who returns to exhibiting with Breckland Artists for the first time in two years.
Breckland Artists have been exhibiting annually in Wymondham for the past three years and, in 2013, bring a new and exciting body of work to Wymondham Arts Centre. With their exhibitions becoming increasingly popular in recent years they are confident that this exhibition will have something for everyone. Members have been included in, and won awards in, major national and regional exhibitions with their work seen in many galleries in East Anglia and beyond.
The Breckland Artists’ exhibition will be held in the fine space of Wymondham Arts Centre, located at Church Street, Wymondham. The show runs from Tuesday 5th to Sunday 27th November, 10am to 4pm, daily except Sunday 12pm to 4 pm.
