Contemporary Midlands artists for critique and coffee. Monday, September 26, 2011. Painted Gorillas in Bristol. An exciting few days finding as many of the 60 painted gorillas as possible, only to find there was one at Birmingham Bus Station. The ingenuity and diversity of the artists' designs was brilliant. A selection of the colourful life-size gorillas have swung off to London and are returning to Bristol to be auctioned off for charity on 29th September - check out the Wow! Jammers do the Saatchi.

http://solihullartists.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Friday, October 29, 2010. Art in Woodstock Festival. I spent a day in Woodstock. On Thursday manning 'The Art Wall'. A great idea 'The Wall' was sponsored by several companies and constructed by a local building company. Children of all ages were given the choice of paints or felt pens and left to show their artistic talents on the wall. It is an ideal location as many visitors are in the town to visit Blenheim Palace. Sunday, October 10, 2010. Big Draw at the Artrix. Found myself on the way to the Artrix.
