Pictures of Beauty in the Disregarded and Open Up!

An update

Hi everyone, welcome to the CAW website.

We're currently in the process of building a brand new website, but in the meantime here's some information about current projects.

Contrary to popular belief CAW still has occupancy of the Old Art Gallery. It seems that there is currently no development potential for the site, so we need to investigate the possibilities for regional funding to purchase the building.

From 5th September to 27th September it was used for 'Beauty in the Disregarded', organised by Coventry-based artist Lorsen Camps. Lorsen and five other artists showed work in tune with the theme. Clearly there is also a reference here to the actual Gallery itself.

Following that the 'Open Up!' exhibition of creative work by people with experience of 'mental health problems'. 'Open Up!' ran from 10th October (World Mental Health Day) until 31st October. Throughout the month Francis Godwin and volunteers ran twice weekly workshops in the Gallery helping people to draw, paint and record their aspirations and wishes for our community.

 

If you have any ideas for interesting and original activities or events that you would like to hold in The Gallery please see the locations page or contact Francis Godwin at CAW (tel 01926 888333 or ).
