Business Collaborations: Jackson Stops and Staff

WEBSITE (smaller) Patrick Jones' work on the ground floor

We worked on an event with estate agents Jackson Stops and Staff to promote a new development in the St Leonards area. A display of work by internationally recognised artist Patrick Jones was on view around the house alongside some emerging local artists from our permanent collection. Guests from the business community enjoyed touring the house and talking about the work on display over nibbles and refreshments supplied by Bon Gout.

Want to work with us on your event? Call Art Consultant Lucinda Cusdin on 01392 278522 to talk about how we can work together.

If you liked our Matisse exhibition in January then you will love this display of work by emerging South West artist Liz Lever. She mixes acrylics and applies the block colour to paper. Once dry she then uses the cut-out method to create these colourful elegant forms. The display is up for just over one more week until Saturday 4th May. Prices range from £200 – £350. Call Lucinda on 01392 278522 for more details.
