Reflections – Issue Six – Pencils
© Adam R. Grose, 2010.
An exhibition of paintings and sculpture by Bryanston School and HM YOI Portland.
This exhibition explores the ideas of ‘freedom and confinement’ from the perspectives of the young men at Portland YOI and sixth form students at Bryanston School in Dorset.
The exhibition contains a number of personal representations of what freedom and confinement mean to the individual artists as well as a number of collaborative pieces produced in recent workshops held at Portland YOI.
This exhibition is curated by Adam R. Grose & Dr. Hannah Fearnley.
This site is a wonderful resource for a variety of subjects, recorded as conversations, lectures and discourses. Here’s a conversation with Chuck Close, one of the greats of our time in the world of art.
An interesting insight into new Asian American Art.

Welcome to 2010.
After the successful exhibition of the Portland Arts Centre in December 2009, the centre has laid plans for another exhibition titled ‘Fire and Ice’. More details can be viewed over at the website www.portlandartscentre.co.uk
December Exhibition – 5th/ 19th Dec 2009
The night began well and was a very successful opening night for the new centre for the arts in Portland and Weymouth and as my last write up said, one of the best exhibition spaces in the South showing contemporary art. The night was very busy with lots of people appearing for an evening of music, viewing and conversation from across the spectrum.
Here are a few photos of the evening.
The exhibition ran for four weeks with many people coming from all over the South West, up to 50 visitors a day. The exhibition was well received with a great response with many excellent comments left in the visitors book.
Talking with the Sam and Kat they were very happy everything went well and the amazing amount of praise for their hard work. All looks well for the new year. I am certainly looking forward to the coming new year; looking forward to the upcoming exhibitions and an opportunity to see the work of the amazing variety of artists who have booked space in the centre.
2010 looks to be the year of great things for the centre and I am glad to have been given the opportunity to have taken part in this exhibition and its beginning.
Well done Kat and Sam! I raise a glass to your hard work and wish you all the best for 2010 and beyond!
Portland Arts Centre is having a fundraising exhibition on the 5th December 2009.
