Artifex Gallery, Sutton Coldfield

The Birmingham Art Circle has an exhibition of their work at the Artifex Gallery in Sutton Coldfield throughout June.  If you haven't been over that way before their address is Mitchell Centre, Weeford Road, Sutton Coldfield, B75 6NA.  It's open seven days a week from 10am - 5pm and their website address is www.artifex.co.uk
'Sustaining the person within', our Arts Council funded project is reaching a bit of a milestone!

Kathryn Pettitt has almost completed her sessions in 3 residential care homes working with some of the residents on exciting creative projects.  The final home has been Jobs Close in Knowle where she is currently organising a morning to exhibit their artwork and enjoy a get together with a cup of coffee on the 25th June.

My 3 residential homes have concluded with Lady Katherine Leveson in Temple Balsall.  Our 6 sessions have flown by, concluding with an exhibition of all their artwork on Wednesday 30th May. With much assitance from Damien, the maintenance man and Mary, one of the residents, it came together really well! Lots of people came along to see the exhibition which created a lovely atmosphere and the work was much admired. 
We have since been asked to display the exhibition during the Temple Balsall Heritage Weekend in September - how exciting! 


Kathryn and I have really valued the amazing support that we have had from Bridget, Nat and Ruth during the last 6 weeks . . . and Richard, our official photographer!
