Portland Arts Centre

Saturday, January 16th, 2010

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: Exhibition

Portland Arts Centre

Portland Arts Centre is having a fundraising exhibition on the 5th December 2009.

Tickets are available via the website and on the opening night (5th) which runs from 7pm – 11pm. A free glass of champagne, live music and bar will entertain you throughout the evening while you view the variety of art in the show and all for sale…

The exhibition and P. A. C. is run by Samantha and Katherine.  This contemporary art show of the year (my opinion) has a lot of art exhibiting over 70+ artists, from a variety of disciplines and will be available to view from the 6th Dec (unless you are coming on the opening night – highly recommended, as it is a chance to talk with the artists attending the night).

If you would like to print off this larger poster and put it up in your area to help advertise, this would be very much appreciated. Spread the word as this is a great opportunity to bring more art to the area and boost the creative arts for all.

If you are looking for that extra special gift for someone this Christmas Portland Arts Centre is the place to come before any where else. Painters, Sculptors, Alternative Media Artists, Photographers, Print makers, Illustrators, Book Publishers and more.

The variety of art on show is astounding and breathtaking in its scope, depth and skill with many perspectives from each artist. Walking around the huge space reveals many seascapes, sea-life, abstract art (painting and sculpture), portraiture, art experiments, figurative, landscape, sky-scape and much more…

I will write a more detailed review with pics after the opening night.
