Art at the Alex

Art at the Alex 'The Alex' (Rugby) is an independent, licensed arts centre with exhibits, events and artist's studio on site. Quirky place to spend time. All art is local art!

Art at the Alex is a venue for artists to work and meet and a licensed cafe which their works adorn. Studios to resident artists Steve Davies (IG: stevedavise1st) and Chris Pegler (IG: peglerpurl) this aims to be a hub for local artists and makers. The Alex was formerly the Alexandra Tavern (and previously the Alexandra Arms). It has a lovely garden and space where the brewery was and these spaces provide great areas to hold extra events. Which it plans to do most weekends through the year.

We re-open with a new exhibition on Thursday. I suspect that by then the squirrel family in the garden will have eaten all the glorious sunflowers.

We are not open to the public during August. But the studios will be working away on various projects, the groups that meet here will still meet, the garden is getting a makeover, and artists whose work you see here can be found at various places off site. Especially during the Summer Sessions in Caldicott Park on 22nd August.

Is the Tunnock's teacake at the opening ceremony for the making you feel nostalgic? You can pick up a real one to eat at and you can also admire the Tunnocks Caramel Wafer (for sale £125) painted this month by Baker as part of the art showdown on 4th July. (His large painting of a teacake has already found a home (last exhibition) with Alex owners Chris and Steve.
