Disabled artists present new Local Attractions exhibition
Tuesday, 3 August 2010
A group of disabled artists have produced a new exhibition on the theme of Local Attractions.
The exhibition runs on the Big White Wall at Tunbridge Wells Library from 13-26 August. The artists all attend a local Activities Centre run by the disability charity Compaid.
Works included in the exhibition, which is sponsored by Warners Solicitors, range from views of Dunorlan and Knole Park, to studies of Leeds Castle and Cranbrook Mill.
One of the artists is Carol Parker, who produced a striking picture of the North Downs. Carol comments: “Kent is where I live so when I was asked to paint a local attraction, the Downs came immediately to mind, with all their beautiful scenery, and notably the splendid poppies.”
The exhibition is free and open every day during the Library’s normal opening hours.
