‘Pride of Place’ Art Exhibition at Jacques Barn, Stourton: May 28 – 31

4 days to go….

A message from Chris Woodcock, owner of Spencer House Gallery:

Many thanks indeed to the Stourton and Cherington folk who have visited my pop-up gallery at Jacques Barn last week, giving us such positive feedback and buying pieces to take home and love – or to give away as gifts.

There are still four days to see new artworks created by regional artists in many media. And Jacques Barn offers a cool refuge from the heat.

IWe’re just along the lane from The Cherington pub (for which we have 20% off vouchers, while stocks last!)

We’re open again from 10am to 5pm today (Thursday) till Sunday (inclusive) and all details are shown here – plus a small selection of unique-to-us available artworks to tempt you.

Thank you

Chris

Whitsun Art Exhibition at Jacques Barn: Save the Dates

Spencer House Gallery present a ‘Pride of Place’ showing of artists celebrating all aspects of Cotswold Life: 22 – 25 and 28 – 31 May

Spencer House Gallery champions excellent regional art and has recently transferred from Tetbury, in the South Cotswolds. Owner, Chris, has just moved from Oxfordshire to Upper Tysoe.

The Pride of Place show will be her North Cotswold debut. 

“I’m really looking forward to putting down new roots and getting to know the art-loving communities of my home patch. And, of course, I’m so grateful to Sally for allowing me to exhibit in her lovely Jacques Barn space.”

The dozen artists featured in the show are all Cotswold-based or inspired – or both – and most of them live in the Stourton region.

Their work, both figurative and abstract, will cover oil and acrylic painting, various kinds of printmaking, drawing and ceramics. Something for all tastes and pockets.

The Private View – on the Friday evening, 22 May – is a launch event open to all:
“We’re hoping lots of local residents come along to meet the artists, view the art and help us have an evening to remember.”
