Artists Making an Exhibition of Themselves!

Coming soon…

Artists Making an Exhibition of Themselves!

Saturday 1st October 2011, from 6pm to 9pm.

Artists Making an Exhibition of Themselves (or AMET) is a special evening of artists demonstrations, in association with the annual Artworks exhibition at Blackthorpe Barn.

AMET is a special evening event when some of our Artworks artists set-up mini working studios in front of their work in the Artworks exhibition at Blackthorpe Barn, to demonstrate the media, materials & techniques used in their art, ready to answer any questions that visitors to the exhibition may have about their art. It’s like visiting ‘open studios’ but it’s all under one roof!

The atmosphere is always bustling, creative & very inspiring – and refreshments are also available in the Artworks cafe.

The Artworks AMET evening is  on Saturday 1st October 2011  from 6pm to 9pm, at Blackthorpe Barn, Rougham, Suffolk – a special date in the Artworks diary!

This special evening event is sponsored by The Curwen Press.

The Artworks 12th annual art exhibition runs from 10 September – 2 October 2011, open 10am – 5pm daily at Blackthorpe Barn, Rougham, Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk IP30 9HZ (for SatNav). Click here to download a printable map to Blackthorpe Barn (PDF).

ARTWORKS Exhibition : pictures from the preview evening

We would like to say a huge thank you to all the wonderful people who attended the Artworks preview evening last friday. We had over 500 guests through the doors and we were blessed by some late afternoon sunshine, making it a most memorable & enjoyable evening in such a beautiful rural setting. Here are a few photographs from the Artworks preview evening.

Many artists’ works are proving very popular with visitors and art collectors alike, but if the work you like has sold or it is out of your budget, then pop into the Artworks shop.

The Artworks shop has a dynamic, evolving display of smaller, original paintings, prints, ceramics, sculptural glass & ironwork, together with an extensive range of artist greetings cards.

There was an assortment of delicious canapés and liquid refreshments to accompany the evening’s perusal of the art. On top of that, live music was supplied by the Gill Levin Jazz Trio! Utterly spoilt!

The Artworks 12th annual art exhibition runs from 10 September – 2 October 2011, open 10am – 5pm daily at Blackthorpe Barn, Rougham, Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk IP30 9JG.
