Disappointment and young artists' enterprise

3/10/2020

After several online exhibitions, I was pleased that the  Tŷ Pawb open exhibition in Wrexham, North Wales, was having a proper exhibition in the gallery. I was due to visit today and had booked a timeslot to see my painting amongst the works selected. 

Then, last Thursday, the government announced new restrictions for Wales and the opening was 
postponed, you can imagine my disappointment.

After a few quite successful months selling paintings and having work and articles published, there now seems to be a general  feeling of  malaise  in the art world as there appears to be no end to the pandemic. 

Having said that, I was impressed with the way a couple of young artists locally were showing their work. I had seen it advertised on Facebook and it looked interesting.

Jen and Amelia, who live near me in Eccles, were holding an 'Art in The Garden' exhibition. On a horrible wet day I wasn't sure that this would go ahead but went to check it out.
Under a very wet awning, they had displayed their paintings and were keen to discuss the work with people who came to view it. 

A shame the weather spoilt the number of visitors but a super idea in the present climate where a lot of local galleries are closed. An admirable effort from two young artists who wanted to exhibit  their work. I hope they do very well in this venture and look forward to future shows.
Who knows, this could be the way forward for other artists in these restricted times.
​Certainly something to think about!
