The Brush and Beyond - The Floor One Gallery
Alchemy
14 - 25 October
ALCHEMY has now been in existence for over 13 years and this is our 12th exhibition at Rugby Art Gallery and Museum. It was conceived as a new, dynamic, forward moving art group, based on participation and equal sharing of workload and benefit - to be informal and modern yet still confident in the commitment of its members to meet regularly to discuss fine art and exhibit collectively. Their experience and skills fuse to create artworks which play with artistic processes; always experimenting; always changing.
ALCHEMY is mainly a discussion group, meeting monthly to debate various aspects of Art and Art History. All members give suggestions for discussion topics and these are drawn out of a hat each month.
Alchemy presented their first ever art exhibition, also called ALCHEMY, at the Floor One Gallery Rugby Art Gallery & Museum, in October 2014.
Connections; Threads, Journeys - The Balcony Gallery
The Batik Guild - Midlands and East Anglia
30 September - 25 October
Try the technique! Saturday 4 October, No booking necessary.
The Batik Guild was the first guild in the world devoted entirely to batik. Now an expanding group of international members, it was formed in 1986 by a small group of batik artists in London, England. About half the members are based in Great Britain and Ireland but there are now enthusiastic members across the world. Members include professional artists, amateur artists, teachers, students, and those that simply enjoy doing batik. The Guild is a non-profit making organisation financed by members’ subscriptions. It is run by volunteers.
