The spaces along the two shores of Britain’s longest river provide the subject for the ‘Between 2 shores’ exhibition, hosted at the Old Passage Inn from 1st to 31th July. Included are works by photographers, painters, sculptors, ceramacists and printmakers who respond to the area’s landscape and the communities who make their living in this beautiful, fragile and volatile area.

Made in the Dean – Proud to be Seen
Posted by Culture Vulture in Art, Crafts on July 1st, 2009
Just west of the Cotswolds, the Forest of Dean is a beautiful ancient forest that is also a hotbed of creativity: known as a centre for art, design and making of a very high standard. Many of the makers are hidden away in homes and workshops, so to ensure that their work can be seen, bigartweb.net offers a virtual gallery where the work of over 65 members can be viewed.
Of course nothing quite beats meeting the artists and the Forest and Wye is a great place to be. You can plan your own individual arts tour by using the online guide or requesting a free copy of the Forest and Wye BigArtGuide. All the artists and craftspeople may be contacted direct and you can arrange to visit them all year round, for a chat, a browse or maybe advice regarding a commission.
To see and buy individual and unique arts and crafts, a permanent display of members’ work – “Made in the Dean – Proud to be seen” – can be found at the Tourist Information Centre in Coleford.
