Event: Late Summer hArt Exhibition

Dates: 1 Sep 2017 - 24 Sep 2017

This year the team are celebrating the people who have worked in the Greenstage Gallery. It's been amazing to see the diverse range of work that has been created by the seven (all women as it happens) artists who are at different stages of their careers.

In addition there are new works by other artists including me. Will is showing "Splash of Yellow" an oil painting of Chris Froome in front of a course car, "Thundering" is an oil painting capturing horses in the Crabbe Grand National last year and "Staying Close" captures more horses on New Year's Day at Cheltenham. The horse paintings have been created using palette knife.

Event: "Light"

Dates: 14 Jun 2017 - 22 Jul 2017

Members of Herefordshire Art & Craft Society are exhibiting their interpretation/works on the very broad theme of light.
I've created works relating to my journeys in early 2016 both the physical movement across the changing seasons along the corridors of the motorways and observing the light and darkness of increasing old age. Influenced by conversations with my mother, exhibitions visited and using what I was seeing in that year away from the race tracks.
Please see my [Facebook page](https://www.facebook.com/KathrynSassallArts/) for daily opening times at the Gallery.

Event: Captured

Dates: 6 Apr 2015 - 12 Apr 2015

Egg with a difference can be seen at “Captured” – an exhibition sharing the colours of life

Easter Monday offers the first chance to see a collection of work by members of the Clehonger Art Group at the Old Mayor’s Parlour gallery in Church Street, part of the Independent Quarter, Hereford showing the colour in their lives.

The exhibition which runs until Sunday 12th April features a collection of pieces by 8 Herefordshire-based creatives in a range of media including bronze, glass, egg tempera, oil, acrylic and watercolour.

Each artist captures the colours of the life around them in a diverse selection of subjects including architecture, flowers, weekend pursuits, the river Wye, the May Fair with the coastal areas of the Marches inspiring 3 of the artists.

The Clehonger Art Group evolved over the last nine years during the annual hArt event each September and has a core of Clehonger-based members with invited artists each year. The exhibition is open daily from 10:00 to 17:00 on a show and sell basis so you can take bought works away with you. Other works will then be hung to replace those sold.

The Old Mayor’s Parlour is an important historic building in the heart of Hereford. It probably dates from the fourteenth century and has it’s own permanent work of art in the fresco of Hereford Castle painted in 1657. Exhibitions were first held in this upstairs venue in 1976.

Event: Chain Reaction - Art Exhibition 1- 30 April 2015

Dates: 1 Apr 2015 - 30 Apr 2015

‘Chain Reaction’ runs daily throughout April and features vibrant and colourful framed acrylic paintings which capture a real sense of motion, teamwork and the thrust of competition racing.

Inspired by the interaction of body and machine, local artist Kathryn Sassall is showing for the first time a series of paintings inspired by the energy of the ‘Grand Depart of t’Tour’ (Tour de France 2014) .

Bold and dynamic brushstrokes and free drawing expressionist style bring you the excitement and the thrill of cycling at speed & I will be showing some of my other cyclist paintings too. These include images of a stunt bike rider, mountain bike downhiller, road-racers and of course the weekenders who go out for the pure joy of riding!

The exhibition area is complemented by the surrounding displays of original mixed-media Art & Craft (almost entirely by professional local artisans) as well as the extraordinary contemporary & traditional wooden furniture created by gallery owner Tim Hawkins for his company, Fine Furniture Ltd.

The Timothy Hawkins Gallery is open every day throughout the year with a diverse range of events and exhibitions planned for the coming months to provide the people of Herefordshire and beyond with the opportunity to enjoy a variety of creative styles and skills by local artisans.

Easy to spot, the bright yellow gallery is on the A438 Hereford-Ledbury road at Bartestree HR1 4BX.
The single-storey buildings have a small free parking area behind and moveable wheelchair ramps make this an easy-access venue.

The gallery opening hours are:
Monday to Friday 09.00am – 5.00pm; Saturday 10.00am – 5.00pm and Sunday 11.00am – 4.00pm.
