The exhibitions programme continues as the RWA, with the support of the Victoria Methodist Church next door on Whiteladies Road, displays a selection of works from the RWA Permanent Collection in the wonderful open space of the church.
About
Joining two recent acquisitions by Albert Irvin, the exhibition includes historic works by many of the RWA’s well-known members, such as Mary Fedden, Julian Trevelyan, Anne Redpath, David Inshaw and Dame Elisabeth Frink, as well as contemporary works by recent members such as Adelaide Damoah, Paul Thirkell and Leslie Glenn Damhus. Many of the historic works, still as fresh and interesting as when they were first produced, will receive their first showing in many years, in the largest exhibition of the collection in recent times.
The exhibition aims to celebrate the diversity of styles, genres and media which has created a collection of significance in the South West, a legacy of beauty and creativity for everyone to enjoy for years to come.
Free Exhibition Tours every Tuesday at 12pm, starting 12 October. Tours last approx 35-40 mins. Meet at the entrance to Sanctuary.
Other events may be taking place at the church during opening hours, such as:
