When a call went out for artwork in January with the theme of Weird Wiltshire they would have never believed that they would end up with 60 pieces being submitted for the exhibition. It was a great response in all sorts of mediums from photography, collage and textiles to mosaic, print making, painting, drawing and ceramics.
The exhibition will take place from Sat 1st April at the Richard Jefferies Museum, the former home of Swindon’s best loved nature writer and now museum of his work. The opening night will be promoting the launch of the new gallery space and exhibition which includes Wiltshire folklore, super natural beings, chalk horses, standing stones, mummers and moonrakers.
For an alternative look at the county through various art mediums then on Sat 1st April between 7 – 9 pm The Richard Jefferies Museum is the place to be, there will be some music, story telling and a performance by Les Bicyclettes of the seven white horses of Wiltshire (and maybe a painting or two.) Bring a bottle and invite your friends and family to a night of strange goings on in Weird Wiltshire.
