Saturday 28th August  to Sunday 3rd October
RAILART 2010 - THE GLORIOUS GREAT WESTERN
Celebrating 175 years of the Great Western Railway
Every two years we play host to an exhibition of paintings and drawings by Members of the Guild of Railway Artists.  This year, the theme is the Great Western Railway, and there is a big variety of subjects which the artists have portrayed reflecting some aspect of the GWR, whether it be a Castle bursting out from a tunnel, a Manor weaving its way around the Cambrian Coast, or a poster advertising GWR holiday services.  There are 48 paintings on view from 21 artists including Philip Hawkins, John Austin, Gerald Broom, Eric Bottomley, Mike Gunnell, Chris Holland, John Hughes, Bernard Jones, Stephen Warnes and Roy Wilson. The paintings reflect most media, from watercolour to oils, and most are for sale.  The exhibition is open every day from 10.00am to 5pm and runs through to Sunday October 3rd.  Admission is free.
