Artful Connections 2

Artful Connections is a group of nine local professional artists and crafts people who have formed a fellowship over more than fifteen years, nurturing each other’s creativity through informal meetups, sharing of practice, drawing/painting/making sessions, and visits to exhibitions.
 
We are also variously associated with The ArtistCollective@Westbury, the Visual Images Group in Bucks., the Eagle Gallery Co Operative in Bedford, The Wynd Gallery in Letchworth, and the Artists Network Bedfordshire. All of us belong to a-n The Artists’ Information Company.
 
An important part of our coming together centres on finding places to exhibit our work, hopefully to sell - but more importantly, to show others what we make and value, with the aim of sharing our thoughts, ideas and expressions of the world around us.
Each of us takes inspiration from our surroundings, whether that is natural forms, people, landscape or weather and transform these impressions through unique methods. Our aim is to make connections concerning issues common to everyone, such as environment, wellbeing and identity.

This exhibition is part of the Heritage Open Days events.
