Woburn Art Gallery

The Woburn Art Gallery is very excited about things to come! Following a universally difficult and worrying period, we have had a successful reopening from the pandemic lockdown, and are now open an extra day on Wednesdays. We are so pleased to see people return and be enthused with the displayed art. We are also exceptionally grateful for the dedication of the gallery’s wonderful volunteers and extend a warm welcome to our most recent recruits!

The exhibition opens on August Wednesday 12 th at 11am with a completely new set of paintings, and we are pleased to welcome a number of new artists to this exhibition. We are also displaying many. 3D works from regular and new artists. The Gallery is very proud to have such a varied and interesting display, and we sincerely hope, with your interest and support, to continue providing this cultural outlet to art lovers in the local community and tourism alike.

Raina Goran is one of the earliest artists to exhibit with us after her friend popped in after a cream tea next door and mentioned her to us. It was always a 'Wow' from us. Her amazing use of colour and her expressionistic approach is quite unique. Since she has progressed from acrylic to collage, made with her own hand-painted paper, she has launched herself even further.

She has just found out that her painting, ‘Tel Aviv’ has been shortlisted from over 5.5 thousand down to the top 42 international entries for the Jackson’s Painting Prize 2020.

Voting via a website for the People’s Choice Prize and prestigious judges from the art world. Here is the link should you wish to vote (up to 15 April).

At least this is all online and what a pleasant distraction from all the other bad news around.

Well done Raina
from all of us at Woburn Art Gallery
