Open Art 09
15th May – 26th August 2009
The Open Art exhibition is a great chance to see the quality of work being produced by amateur artists within the borough. Paintings range from traditional watercolours to more abstract oils of a variety of subjects around the borough. There are also photographs, and mixed media work.
Unlike other open art exhibitions, the Tameside exhibition has no selection procedure, so it is an opportunity for anyone who lives in the borough to get their art on the walls of a gallery.
This year the gallery received 246 art works - proving the interest in art and creative talent in Tameside is at an all time high.
A selection of paintings at the exhibition and more information is available at the Open Art 09 Press Release.
The Miraculous Emporium of Amazing Altered Books
A collaborative installation by Woodend Artists’ Studio in Mossley
8th May – 8th August 2009
Have you ever seen a book fly?
This fantastical and imaginative exhibition of altered books was the brainchild of Woodend artist Susan Platt. Together with her fellow artists she created a stunning exhibition of altered books; some are kinetic sculptures like a pair of flying books, other alterations include a spy peeking out of a detective story, and a children’s game inside a grant-finding book as well as stunningly delicate paper elves seemingly rising out of the pages.
This imaginative library of altered books is a must for anyone with a taste for the unusual and magical.
