Artful Connections Exhibition: A Celebration of Local Artistic Collaboration at The Barn Gallery

Updated: Sep 24


Westbury Arts Centre is delighted to announce the return of the Artful Connections, showcasing an engaging exhibition titled "Artful Connections 3: Beyond The Surface". The exhibition is scheduled to be held at the Barn Gallery on 28th and 29th September.



Lead by Artist Collective @ Westbury member and Studio holder Joanna Stone, the Artful Connections group is a collective of talented local artists and craftspeople who have been collaborating for over fifteen years. The group originally formed through Artists Network Bedfordshire and has since nurtured a rich creative fellowship, regularly coming together to share ideas, techniques, and inspiration. Their gatherings have fostered creativity through drawing, painting, and craft-making sessions, as well as exhibition visits.


The Artful Connections artists are affiliated with various esteemed groups, including The ArtistCollective@Westbury, the Visual Images Group in Buckinghamshire, the Eagle Gallery Co-Operative in Bedford, and The Wynd Gallery in Letchworth.


Each member brings their own distinctive style and passion, with many drawing inspiration from the natural world, local landscapes, and the environment around them. Through their art, they transform these impressions into uniquely personal expressions.


This year’s exhibition, "Beyond The Surface", explores the diverse ways in which each artist engages with the concept of "surface." Whether working with ceramics, mixed media, or paint, the artists delve into both the physical and conceptual interpretations of surface – from the tangible textures of their materials to the deeper meaning behind colour, mark-making, and texture.


Visitors can expect an eclectic mix of work that connects the various interpretations of surface, highlighting the unique methods and personal connections each artist brings to their craft.

Join us at the Barn Gallery for a weekend of stunning artwork, where the beauty of collaboration, creativity, and connection is on full display.
