Current Exhibition: Farewell Exhibition for Kerry and Susan, the out going Artists in Residence- “The Last Hurrah”

A Last Hurrah!

As they come to the end of their incredibly productive residencies in the Art Attic at Leigh Community Centre, Artists in Residence Susan Allen and Kerry Doyland are holding one last exhibition on The Community Art Wall.

The show, called The Last Hurrah! is a celebration of work created in the attic by Kerry and Susan as well as fellow artists Annabelle Brotherton, Amanda Jackson and Terry Sibson.

The work really demonstrates how much creativity can be stimulated when artists come together to share their passion.

The girls look forward to handing over the residency to the new artists, and watching the great things that they will create together.

Want to Exhibit?

Leigh Community Centre has a Community Art Wall with regular art exhibitions from local artists and groups. The Community Art Wall is open to those who have sufficient pieces of work to fill the space. There is no charge but applications are subject to the Community Centre's Terms and Conditions.

If interested then please request an application pack from the Community Centre reception or email council@leighonseatowncouncil.gov.uk. Artists and groups with a connection to the Leigh-on-Sea area will be given priority.
