Progress on the Whiteknights studio trail

This weekend, 18th and 19th June 2011, Progress Theatre will be one of the venues on the Whiteknights Studio Trail. This exciting annual event is an opportunity to visit artists based in the university area in their studios or other venues. You can see examples of their work and talk to the artist.

Progress will be showing work by artist Carole Stephens. Carole is mainly inspired by flowers and gardens and creates beautiful bright pictures using water colours and pen and ink. She went to art college in 1964 and has been teaching and working as an artist ever since. As well as flowers she likes painting toys and is happy to take commissions to paint a favourite toy (or your garden.)


The exhibition at Progress is open 11am - 6pm on Saturday and Sunday and Carole will be there to answer any questions about her work or just to chat to visitors. Tea and coffee will be available and the bar will be open during licencing hours. Importantly for those visiting several venues on the trail there will be somewhere to sit down and toilet facilities. Progress member Alice Mulford is exhibiting her work at MERL as part of the trail. Full details of the trail, including a map showing all the venues can be found here.
