Newbury's new London Road gallery to show local work

Artist Claire Howarth has just opened up a new little art gallery along London Road, Newbury, showcasing work by local artists and makers.

She says “The Gallery is only small, but benefits from great roadside visibility. We’re hoping to catch the eye of not only the local people but the commuters passing through the town, plus adding some much needed colour to a very drab road.” The artwork will be rotated on a six-week turn around, allowing plenty of artists throughout the year a chance to showcase their work.

“I have been overwhelmed with support from the local community and especially artists and creatives wanting to be involved.”

The artists involved in the first intake are

Red Kite Glass studios

Tony Hackett photography / limited images.

Becca M Brown tattoo artist

Jane Brind, textured acrylic & ceramics

Rachel Davis artist

Deborah Honey driftwood sculptures

Llinos Gale ceramics

Claire Howarth art
