Another exhibition date in Northampton for your diary. Some heavyweight artists are showing, and it should be well worth a visit. See details below.

A curated selection of British artists will be on display at The Shoosmith Gallery at Delapré Abbey this spring, presented in collaboration with Northampton Fine Art.

‘British Artists’ runs from Tuesday 28th April to Saturday 23rd May at The Shoosmith Gallery, situated in the Stable Block at Delapré Abbey, London Road, Northampton.

Dear Members/Associates,

Just a little update on member's exhibitions that are running and worth a visit.

The first is Richard Allen's 'Art and Comics Unwrapped' at the Northampton Museum & Art Gallery, which explores the link between fine art and comics. There are superb examples of Richard's work and other artist's work to really outline the strong connection between the two genres. This exhibition is well worth a visit, and runs until 21st June (see link below).

The second is Cordell Garfield's Boot and Shoe paintings and Mike Salt's landscape paintings showing at the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists' Candidates Exhibition which runs from 16th April to 2nd May. The RBSA is a prestigious and long established society over 200 years old, set in the heart of Birmingham's Jewellery Quarter. A link is attached to the exhibition.

Dear Friends of our Northampton Town & County Art Society.
I hope you are all well, and must be wondering why there have not been any notifications about our recent, very successful, Exhibition.
I apologise for not having been my usual active self, as I have been for the last 30 years. However … I promise to make amend.
30 paintings were sold during our last Exhibition, which finished last Sunday.
120 Works were exhibited.
I am sure that all the visitors, who paid a visit at this Exhibition held at the Northampton Museum & Art Gallery, agree with me that this was our most successful Exhibition yet.
With kind regards, love, and respect,
