Edge – Lovelys Gallery
248 Northdown Road, Cliftonville, Margate, Kent CT9 2PX
Open 6 days a week Monday – Saturday 9 – 5.30

http://www.lovelysgallery.co.uk/

In May 2011, Lovelys launched a new contemporary exhibition space – “Edge”, upstairs in their gallery in Northdown Road, Cliftonville. It creates a new ‘edge’ to Lovelys, working alongside their continuing commitment to showcasing traditional and contemporary art.

Edge is a new concept for Lovelys, expanding upon and cherishing its 120 year heritage. It offers a continually changing collection of diverse artwork from Thanet and East Kent based professional artists who are on the periphery of national and international recognition. Edge will also focus attention on the exhibitors creative intentions, encouraging a thought provoking experience.

Folkestone Art Society Autumn Exhibition:

Wednesday 9 to Sunday 20 November 2011.

Grand on The Leas (www.grand-uk.com), Folkestone.  

The exhibition opens at 10am and closes at 5pm each day. The Autumn Exhibition usually has up to 250 paintings and works of art on display and the majority of the work is for sale. The exhibition is rightly considered an important event in the arts calendar of the south-east and our previous exhibitions have drawn praise for the high standard of work exhibited.

For more than eighty years members, past and present, have been pivotal in promoting the visual arts in Folkestone and the south east. In that time we have grown both in number of members as well as in the number and quality of the works exhibited.
Many eminent artists have been past members and the membership today includes professional and semi-professional artists as well as many talented amateurs.

Entrance to the Exhibitions is free and there is ample free parking. A nominal charge is made for catalogues.
Refreshments are available: (www.grand-uk.com 01303 222222)
