Upcoming Events
Tony Wolfenden Kite Exhibition
Tony Wolfenden Kite Exhibition
Tony Wolfenden has had a long and successful career in Industrial design and has an ongoing interest in art and design in all their forms. One of which was the choice of kites as kinetic art. The non-commercial and slightly whimsical nature of art objects that fly attracted his involvement in producing a series of large bold graphic panels that can produce powerful images in both the sky and on gallery walls. An interesting and unusual exhibition, this is not one to be missed.
We have a range of weekly activities as well regular exhibitions and events. Click on the link below to view upcoming activities and events.
