“Up the Downs”: South Downs Society Supports Arundel Museum Society Art Exhibition
8th August - 30th September 2007
The South Downs Society has partnered Arundel Museum Society in the launch of an exhibition of paintings, “Up the Downs” which includes lino-cuts by the late Robert Tavener of the South Downs, plus photographs, oils and watercolours by seven other Sussex artists.
The exhibition was opened on Wednesday 8th August 2007 by John Songhurst, Chairman of the South Downs Society. John introduced the work of the South Downs Society, highlighting the current campaigns and proposed developments which will intrude upon the beauty of the South Downs, a beauty so creatively captured in the works of the exhibiting artists.
Sadly this will be the last exhibition for the Arundel Museum Society, as they must vacate the premises in the High Street by 7th December 2007. A large framed lino-cut by Robert Tavener entitled "Sussex Weald" has been donated by Emma Mason British Prints for silent auction at the exhibition to help raise funds for a new building to house the current Museum collection when it closes at the end of this year. The highest bid so far received is £125 at Wednesday 15th August. Postal bids can be sent to Roger Halls at the Museum.
To place your bid for this splendid lino print, visit the exhibition upstairs at: Arundel Museum and Heritage Centre 61 High Street, Arundel West Sussex Phone: +44 (0)1903 882456
Open Monday to Saturday, 10am – 4.30pm, and Sunday, 10.30am – 2.30pm. Last entry is half an hour before closing.
