The Dogs

Exhibitions and Events
Written By Guest User

We are happy to announce our upcoming exhibition THE DOgS, showcasing illustrations and sculptures inspired by a new book of poetry by Michael Stewart.

Louis Benoit has created a pack of drawings, some dramatic, some funny and some just canine cunning which have served to illustrate The DOgS and have now culminated into an exhibition, as well as a whole range of dog-themed activity running over summer.

Beginning with our opening night event on Friday 30th June, award-winning writer Michael Stewart will be reading from his book of poems, ‘The DOgS’ and signing books alongside original illustrations for the book by Louis Benoit, and sculptures by Moira Benoit.

The exhibition is free and open to all to visit between 12 and 3 pm, on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, from Saturday 1st July to 12 August 2023.

“Bless my Soul!!!  Louis Benoit is BLOODY GOOD - and MESSY
TOO!!!  He Blots a lot - BUT he controls it all too!!  WELL DONE!!!!!”

-
