Cornucopia Exhibition10:00 am – 4:00 pm
The work of eight artists is the latest exhibition at the ever popular Foxlowe gallery.
As the title Cornucopia implies this is a varied exhibition. A group of five painters, two ceramicists and a textile artist have contributed to keep the field as broad as possible to create an exhibition of wide ranging imagery and ideas that simultaneously complement each other in quite vibrant ways.
The eight artists comprise of Ceramicists Ruth Robinson and Jeff Teasdale, Painters Bruce Lyons, Lucy Bennett, Colin Grimes, Stewart Griffin and Phil Bennett and the textile artist Suzy Shackleton.10:00 amCornucopia Exhibition -
Dusk ‘Til Dawn Exhibition10:00 am – 4:00 pm
When the sun goes down and the light fades this is the time of day that most photographers put down their cameras and head home. During the winter the long nights put quite a restriction on your photography and it was this challenge of working out side the normal conditions that lead to the project.
Photography is the manipulation of light and night time is the absence of light, so the two seem incompatible, but with a bit of hard work and dedication the rewards can be spectacular. Taken over a number of years and in a number of locations both at home and abroad, the images show the wonderful colours and shades that can appear when the sun goes down.Brett Trafford Photography exhibition is in the Cruso room at Foxlowe Arts Centre from 1st May t0 31st May. The Cruso room is open 7 days a week 10am – 4pm.

The Birmingham Conservatoire Folk Ensemble8:00 pm – 9:00 pm
A best-seller in the Leek Arts Festival programme, more than 40 musicians crammed onto one tiny stage.Joe Broughton has been the director of the Conservatoire Folk Ensemble since 1998 and has built the band in to a 50-piece touring entity in it’s own right. The power of this ensemble that can have up to 100 members depending on the venue has to be seen to be believed. They released a DVD in 2007 and the Album “Sardines” in 2009. The Annual UK tour takes place at the end of May each year. Apart from being an incredible show for the audience, the ensemble has become something of a training ground for the young folk generation, many of the stars of the folk scene today having been members.

Geoff Archer:Rocks Exhibition, Public Preview6:30 pm – 10:30 pm
Public preview of Foxlowe Gallery exhibition Rocks by Geoff Archer on Friday May 25th from 6.30pm (bar open till 10.30pm).
Born in Manchester in 1945, having studied at Manchester Regional College of Art & Design, Geoff Archer gained a BA in Fine Art at Trent Polytechnic, his Art Teaching Certificate at Reading University and a Masters Degree in Art History at Manchester University.
Geoff Archer first produced rural landscapes in the late 1990s following a sustained period of drawing at the Roaches. The Roaches with Ramshaw Rocks form a gritstone escarpment within view of the Foxlowe Art Centre in Leek that guard the entrance to the Staffordshire Peak District like silent sentinels.
The Roaches and Ramshaw Rocks have provided Geoff Archer with years of endless inspiration. Geoff Archer explains that ‘the use of the close up is intended to draw the attention both to the process of observation analogous to peering through the cameras viewfinder and to the intricacies of form, pattern, texture and colour.’
The Oils and Watercolours of Geoff Archer in this latest exhibition at the Foxlowe Arts Centre will not only be of interest to art lovers but also walkers, climbers and an inspiration to locals and tourists alike. The exhibition runs from the 26th May to the 1st July. The Foxlowe Gallery is open 10am – 4pm Wednesday, Thursday, Friday & Saturday and 11am – 4pm on Sundays
