The Green Man Gallery’s 2019 spring programme included the Spring Gathering open exhibition and a guest exhibition by the Derbyshire Artists Guild.
The Spring Gathering Open Exhibition
The Spring Gathering presented work by artists and makers from the region in spring 2019.
The exhibition featured original work in a range of media.
The original announcement listed paintings, mixed media, prints, textiles, photography, ceramics and glass.
“This is one of the highlights of the year for the gallery,” events manager Caroline Small said in the 2019 preview. “It’s a huge challenge to display such a diverse range of work effectively but the result is eclectic, passionate, contemporary and full of inspiration.”
Established artists
The 2019 preview also announced an exhibition by the Derbyshire Artists Guild, due to open on 26 April and continue through May. It named Angus Stokes, Patricia Lane, Arwyn Quick, Susan Tracey and Carol Barton-Jones among the group’s artists.
New artists
The preview said that Susan Eversfield had joined as a resident artist in March 2019, while silver jeweller Kathryn Fruish was a guest designer maker.
The 2019 announcement described Eversfield’s work in watercolours, pastels and ceramics.
It described Fruish’s jewellery and her inspiration from books and fairy tales.
Get Creative! Life Drawing, Puppet Making and more…
The gallery offered untutored life-drawing sessions in 2019.
The spring programme also advertised puppet-making and flowerpot-people workshops.
Live music venue
The gallery also hosted live music. In the 2019 announcement, Small described its ballroom acoustics and a maximum seated capacity of 60.
Folk favourites return
The preview listed John Watterson’s Jake’s Progress for 13 April 2019 and a performance by Barry Nisbet.
Mambo Jambo were also listed for May 2019.
