There’s one more weekend to catch our featured artist display of Joan Wilkes, with her beautiful artwork showing both in our window and inside the gallery. Then it will be time to turn our thoughts to Christmas. From next week, we'll be showing a ‘Silent Night’-themed display in the gallery window, featuring artworks by all our artists. Our winter exhibition continues inside the gallery, along with the work of our two guest artistsSusie Hartley and Nick Hebditch. Susie’s expressive sculptures and Nick’s atmospheric paintings will be showing until we close for Christmas on 23rd December and you can read more about their work and their practice in our blog

We’re very much looking forward to our Christmas at Chalk events, taking place in the gallery in Lewes on Friday 3rdDecember from 5.30-7.30pm and on Saturday 4thDecember from 2 - 4 pm. This is a great opportunity to come and browse artworks and cards in a relaxed and festive atmosphere, while enjoying a drink and meeting some of the Chalk artists.

For those who can’t make it to the gallery in person, a reminder of our online shop which offers free delivery to the UK on many items. Many new pieces have been added to it recently, including artists cards, calendars and small gifts ideal for Christmas, as well as some exciting new original art.

December is of course a busy month for events and exhibitions. Our Out and About section below lists venues where our artists will be showing their work over the coming weeks.

We hope to see you in the gallery soon and look forward to welcoming you to our displays and events.
 
Best wishes,

The Chalk Gallery Artists
