Several years before his death, artist William Brown proposed a three artist exhibition exploring the theme of Venus. William had for some years, prompted by his “discovery” of a small carved votive figure, in a cave in a hill above the village of Blaengwynfi, produced paintings and prints on the theme.

Roger Moss and Keith Bayliss will research and produce new work in a variety of media - painting, prints, drawings and sculpture to accompany some of William Brown’s originals and include a bronze figure from each of them.

This exhibition will open on Saturday 22nd September 2018 at 2pm here at Oriel Q Gallery, Narberth.

The placing of an object, memento, keep-sake, lock of hair, small toy, photograph or letter within an old chocolate box or between the pages of a book is something common to us all. It is our attempt to preserve a moment, a memory. Something precious.

Using simple, everyday materials, paper, card, paint and glue, artist Keith Bayliss will work with you through a “Precious Boxes” workshop to create decorated containers that house, enshrine and display your own small precious object. Keith will be delivering this creative workshop on Saturday 20th October 2018 between 10.30am and 3.30pm.

We are very excited to announce that the annual Winter Open Exhibition returns for 2018 and we would like to extend an invite to artists for submissions to the show. 

Submission dates are as follows;

November 9th 2018 11am - 4pm

November 10th 2018 11am - 4pm
