It's our Fifth birthday this month

We will be celebrating 5 years in Eccleshall later on this month, so we will be holding another 'Art with a Heart' charity day on May 10th in aid of CASS - Careres Association Southern Satffordshire. Please come along and help us raise some money for another Staffordshire charity

                                   

in readiness for this the gallery had another change around and is looking particularly smart

New member artist - Tom Hackney

Fantastic abstract art by Tom Hackney - there are currently just two of Tom's pieces on display in Gallery at 12 - but they add a wonderful  extra dimension to the gallery.

wildlife art exhibition

For the whole of September Gallery at 12 is hosting the lovely exhibition of wildlife art by Kim Robinson.
Kim creates beautiful wildlife art using pen and ink with a watercolour wash, her range includes prints, cards and printed gift ware including tea towels and bags.

Exhibition for August - Louise Poole - equine artist

Welcome to the new exhibition for August in our gallery
'Louise Poole has been around horses all her life and has great admiration for their magnificent charisma and spirit. Louise says her artwork is produced from her nervous energy, she hopes this energy helps capture the essence and wild spirit of the horse'.

Photographic exhibition

I had the privilege of manning the Gallery again this afternoon which gave me the opportunity to view the new exhibition for April.

Colin Preston is a photographer based on the Staffordshire/Derbyshire border and several of his photographs in his exhibition are of local scenes - One of the first things that was very noticeable was the stunning colours in these striking landscapes.

This is Colin's first ever exhibition, I hope it won't be his last and I wish him every success as he continues with his photographic journey

More new work entered our gallery by member Wayne Tomlinson these paintings of Cannock Chase differ from his other work in the Gallery and has already had many admirers

 

Mixed media work using watercolour, acrylic and inks on watercolour paper overlaid with tissue paper.
