“Pavilion II” - the Art Gallery at Buckinghamshire County Museum, Aylesbury, Bucks – 8 to 29 November 2008
Review
Following the success of our first open themed exhibition last year, we were invited by Buckinghamshire County Museum in Aylesbury to hold a show in their central Art Gallery from 8-29 November 2008. Thirty-one selected artists presented a wonderful mix of both commercial and experimental work which included sculpture, video and site-specific installation. Exhibiting artists were a mix of members already known to us, people joining awful/FANTASTIC! in order to submit work and artists invited from local art college graduation shows, which added to the richness of the work displayed.
Around one hundred and fifty people attended the Preview on 8 November, with an encouraging number of visitors attending through the exhibition’s three week run. Sales of work by Carry Ackroyd, Patricia Lynch and Sue Weinstock were achieved and our profile was raised by a number of articles in local press (see Media page) and the distribution of posters to key venues in surrounding counties in order to attract more visitors into Aylesbury.
We received incredibly positive feedback from comments left in our visitor book and verbally from people who were either involved in, or came to see the exhibition regarding its organisation, mix of engaging/thought provoking work and its overall presentation, for which are very grateful and hope it benefits both us for future events and the individual profiles of our members.
