About
Open Monday - Saturday, 10am - 4pm, until 8 March
This exhibition is the fourth in Chippenham Museum's Spotlight series dedicated to its growing Modern and Contemporary Art Collection.
The project began in 2019 with the desire to celebrate the rich artistic history of this part of North Wiltshire. As a permanent collection, it acts as a source of inspiration, education and enjoyment for all.
At the heart of the Modern and Contemporary Art Collection are works that acknowledge the legacy of the Bath Academy of Art in Corsham, a pioneering residential art school that counted some of the biggest names in modern and contemporary art amongst its teachers and students.
North Wiltshire's creativity proudly extends beyond the Academy, and the collection records and celebrates the many contemporary artists who continue to live and work in this area today.
The exhibition featured work by the following artists:
Kay Le Seelleur Ara, Kenneth Armitage, Guy Bigland, Alma Boyes, Susie Brooks, John Chilver, Dominic Clare, Andrew Cross, William Crozier, Anna Currey, Simone Dawood, Stephen Ellis, Alex Faulkner, Selina Fischer, Astrid Furnival, John Furnival, Katherine Gili, Patrick Haines, Keith Harrison, Verity James, Richard Kennedy, David King, Julia Manning, Michael Stubbs, Marianne Fox-Ockinga, Ione Parkin, Tim Parry-Williams, Michael Pennie, Jackie Pope, Terry Pope, Paul Rudall, James Scott, Robert Scott, William Scott, Jack Shirreff, Alice Sielle, Hugh Hamshaw Thomas, Julia Vezza, Helen Wilks, and Alistair Young.
Further details about the artworks can also be found in the accompanying catalogue available in the museum shop.
