A glorious evening for the Pride of Place PV and a steady stream of sales and commissions since

Here are some of them

A huge thank you to our 12 artists and all who have supported us, many for the first time, in our new location, and others who have travelled from afar

We made it!

About 8pm last night the bunting and lanterns went out and we got these photos

Then a few signs around the village

We’re open from 10am today - and looking forward to a sunny evening PV from 5.30pm (we’re so lucky to have hit good weather)

12 artists have poured life and love into their work

Do come and take a look

48 hours

Here's the last two days of frenetic activity captured in a few snaps and two quick pieces of video

Pulling an exhibition together is a long cross-country route with an uphill marathon sprint at the end - especially when you're trying out a new space and everything is an uknown

How do we want viewers to navigate the show? What will fit where? How will the hanging system operate? Where are the natural and electric light sources? What looks best in which space? Where are the showstoppers? How will large and small pieces interact in the same space?

It takes days to get things looking good and to do justice to all the wonderful art on display - we're about half-way there this evening

And it's worth all the work: this Friday we open Pride of Place at Jacques Barn in beautiful Stourton (near Shipston-on-Stour) and share the front-of-house experience with all of you... We're open from 10am till 5pm and the Private View starts at 5.30pm and runs till 8

Thank you to all the artists who have delivered new work and supported on publicity and positivity, particularly in the last few days 😍

Bold brews: tea time, reimagined ☕🌸

Vibrant cups, bold blooms and playful spots combine in this quirky new series of original paintings by Carole Condé — perfect for kitchens, conservatories and breakfast corners in country cottages or contemporary interiors.

Pouring colour and character into every surface and detail, Carole’s created this joyful new collection of cup and mug paintings with floral and spotty backdrops — designed to brighten your favourite spaces.

The perfect tea-time tableaux, these playful cup and mug paintings look beautiful as a duo or as a striking gallery-hung display.

A drop of quintessential Englishness with a generous dose of modern chic, conceived and painted exclusively for our Pride of Place exhibition opening next Friday 22 May.

Do stop by for a cuppa…

More puppy love - meet Rex!

Rex is a classic, strong, and historically popular dog name of Latin origin meaning “king”. While widely used in the mid-20th century, it's now considered a retro or traditional choice, often associated with loyal, confident or German Shepherd-type dogs. It also pops up in popular culture, such as the dinosaur in Toy Story, carrying a humorous nostalgia associated with childhood and innocence.

In this case.... Rex is a white-grey handsome greyhound, painted by Grenville Moore, looking for a loving home and, to that end, putting his best side forward at our Pride of Place exhibition later this month.

Will you fall for his charms?

Raised in a barn

Barns are a bit of our theme in our Pride of Place show

We're holding the exhibition at Jacques Barn in Stourton, we're about to do up another barn at our new abode (destined, one day, to be an arty venue) and the very talented Viv Beaumont has just delivered to us this triptych of Blue Barn I-III textile works

These are mixed media works on cotton - machine-stitched, layered collage with abaca (banana h**p) and blackthorn, plus gold leaf, with painted and starched sections for the barns themselves and a monoprinted and stitched figure

They're packed with symbolism and imaginative use of materials - everything we'd expect of this inventive artist

They measure 60cm square, framed

Don't miss them!

Not long now

We nipped down to Jacques Barn in Stourton to take advantage of the glorious sunshine for a photoshoot

It was hard not to squint 🕶️😎

Everything’s coming together for our North Cotswold launch

Door drops this weekend and press releases go out next week

Fingers crossed the weather is just as good at the end of May

Hope you can make it
