What’s On in September at Leabrooks Arts Complex

September is shaping up to be a lively month at Leabrooks Arts Complex, with new artwork to enjoy, a friendly artists’ forum and plenty of reasons to visit the gallery in Somercotes.

‘Our World’ mixed exhibition

This month, visitors can enjoy ‘Our World’, a mixed exhibition by Brian Steele, Kay Stanton and Lauren Lawson. The exhibition brings together a selection of work from three artists, offering visitors the chance to experience different styles, subjects and creative approaches in one visit.

Leabrooks Artists Forum

The Leabrooks Artists Forum takes place on Saturday 12th September, 10.30am – 1.00pm. It’s a great opportunity for artists to meet, chat, share ideas and connect with others in the local creative community.

Visit the gallery

Leabrooks Arts Complex is open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 11.00am – 4.00pm, and Sunday from 11.00am – 3.00pm. The gallery is closed on Wednesdays.

Whether you’re looking for inspiration, original artwork, a relaxed gallery visit or a chance to connect with other creatives, September is a lovely time to come along and see what’s happening at Leabrooks Arts Complex.

Gelli Printing

Today Leabrooks Arts Complex was awash with colour and creative energy as Patricia Lane introduced an enthusiastic group of individuals to the potential of abstract art, using Gelli prints. They were taken through a variety of strategies which, in the first instance, were challenging but, with her expert guidance, became exciting as she encouraged confident experimentation. What started off as tentative dabbling with ideas by everyone involved became a wholehearted commitment to the process. Everyone left with images which were worthy of display and a source of considerable pride.
Patricia’s workshops are definitely to be recommended!
