Garden weeds 2

Well, things are well under way for my first exhibition. Pictures printed and framed (well most of them) some nice little calling cards produced and a strange mixture of panic and joy is descending on me. Perfect solution - pop out with the camera and take a few more piccies. Probably won't show them on May 10-11, but who knows?

Submissions please!!!

I'm currently organising a rolling programme of monthly exhibitions at the Grainhouse Cafe in the Bristol YHA on 14 Narrow Quay.

If you'd like us to consider showing your work please email me for more information on how to apply.

Groups and individuals welcome!

Exhibition Opportunity

I'm organising a last minute group exhibition at the Grainhouse Cafe which is part of the youth hostel on the harbourside in Bristol. I'm hoping to hang the exhibition on Sunday 27th April. The show will be on the theme of journeys and travel. If you have work (preferably wall based) on this theme and would be interested in knowing more information please give me an email!
