SUMMARY:Sponsored Walk: Constable Country to Gainsborough’s House
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a 20-mile walk to raise funds for Reviving an Artist’s Birthplace: A National Centre for Gainsborough \nWalk the whole way or join us for just one of the legs! \nSome years ago a sponsored walk to raise funds for Gainsborough’s House took place walking from Gainsborough’s House in Ipswich to Gainsborough’s House in Sudbury where much fun was had. In this diamond anniversary year a new walk is planned\, walking from Constable country to Gainsborough’s House. This gentle weekend walk takes in the landscapes that inspired Suffolk’s celebrated artists Thomas Gainsborough and John Constable. \nWalkers will set off from Flatford Mill\, at the heart of the Dedham Vale that inspired several of Constable’s best loved pictures\, and follow the gently rolling landscapes of the Stour Valley\, incorporating parts of the Essex Way\, Stour Valley Path and St Edmunds Way\, through Nayland and Bures\, finishing in Sudbury where the walk will culminate on Sunday with a celebratory lunch in the Hills Room at Gainsborough’s House. \nDogs welcome – please keep on leads! \nGet sponsored!

SUMMARY:The Pre-Raphaelite Dream
DESCRIPTION:2 and 9 February 2018\n10.30am – 12.30pm \nThis course celebrates the art\, ideas\, and lives of Dante Gabriel Rossetti\, John Everett Millais\, William Holman Hunt and other artists associated with the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. Young\, rebellious and idealistic\, the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood turned their backs on the dull conventions and mawkish sentimentality of Victorian art and championed the traditions of medieval painting\, the realistic depiction of nature\, and subjects portraying poetry\, modern life\, and romantic love. Their work revolutionised the way that painters’ viewed the world\, while their unconventional relationships and lifestyles pre-figured modern ideas about artists as Bohemians living outside the norms of respectable society. The course explores the history of the Movement from its origins in the 1840s to its later impact on artists like Edward Burne-Jones and also examines the role of women as models and fellow-artists. \nCoffee and pastries included\n£30 for two lectures \nTo Book: call 01787 372958 or\nmail@gainsborough.org

SUMMARY:Contemporary & Post War British Art Auction
DESCRIPTION:You can bid online today at the-saleroom.com/gainsborough \nLEADING ARTISTS from across Britain are getting behind our £8.5 million project to create a National Centre for Thomas Gainsborough – giving art lovers and collectors a unique opportunity to bid for contemporary and post-war paintings\, prints and sculpture rarely seen in the market place. \nThe Contemporary & Post War British Art Sale will feature around 130 lots donated from over 125 estates and studios that have pledged their support towards Gainsborough’s House. \nThe works represent some of Britain’s greatest and most inspiring artists including Edward Bawden\, Francis Davison\, Anthony Eyton\, Antony Gormley\, Maggi Hambling\, Clive Head\, John Hoyland\, David Inshaw\, Allen Jones\, Sarah Lucas\, Margaret Mellis\, Julian Opie and William Pye. Everyone is welcome to view selected works for free from 14 – 19 October. \nMaggi Hambling CBE\, a Patron of Gainsborough’s House who spear-headed the event along with art critic Andrew Lambirth said: “Since galleries couldn’t exist without artists\, it’s fitting that artists have responded so wholeheartedly to supporting a new National Centre for Thomas Gainsborough\, one of England’s greatest.” \nIn 2016\, we were delighted to learn that the Heritage Lottery Fund had earmarked £4.73 million for the renovation and redisplay of the historic house and the construction of a new\, landmark three-storey structure with four new galleries – a showcase Gainsborough gallery\, a landscape studio with panoramic views over Sudbury\, a community gallery and a major exhibition gallery/performance space. \n \nAs part of a far-reaching fundraising campaign to secure over £3 million in match-funding still needed to safeguard the project\, we hope this prestigious event will help close the gap on our funding targets. \nMark Bills\, Director of Gainsborough’s House\, said: “Here is a unique opportunity to bid for contemporary and post-war paintings\, prints and sculpture rarely seen in the market place and in so doing be part of this exciting and ambitious project.” \nThe Contemporary & Post War British Art Sale takes place at The Assembly Rooms\, Town Hall\, Sudbury CO10 1TL on Friday 20 October from 6.30pm – tickets £25 (including refreshments and catalogue) available from T: 01787 372958 or E: jackieb@gainsborough.org \nYou can bid online from 1 October at the-saleroom.com/gainsborough \nViewing of key works from 14 – 19 October\nFree entry all week and late night opening on Thursday 19 October until 8pm \nImage above: Maggie Hambling\, North Sea Rolling\, 2015-17\, oil on canvas\n \n

SUMMARY:Buy original works of art at our Autumn Art Fair
DESCRIPTION:This autumn\, we’re offering art lovers a fantastic opportunity to browse and buy an original work of art whilst helping to bring a major new arts venue to the county. \nOur Autumn Art Fair (14-20 October) will feature over 100 original paintings and prints donated by artists from across the UK\, to help us raise vital funds for our £8.5 million project to create a ‘National Centre for Thomas Gainsborough’. \nA special thank you to members of our Print Workshop who together have donated an extraordinary variety of work\, created in our innovative workshop – come and browse silkscreen prints\, woodcuts\, etchings\, lithoprints and more from the likes of Carl Borges\, Emma Buckmaster\, Michael Carlo\, Megan Fishpool\, Colin Gale and Bryan Whiteley. \nNoreen Grant\, Joint-Chair of Gainsborough’s House Print Workshop\, said: “This is a wonderful opportunity to demonstrate the continuing pursuit and importance of printmaking in East Anglia and as practiced in all its disciplines within the House. It is also appropriate that sales of prints should help to fund the new National Centre as Gainsborough was himself a printmaker!” \nThe Fair also includes paintings by Chris Bennett\, Tyrel Broadbent\, Mark Cazalet\, Stephen Chambers RA\, Luke Elwes\, Jelly Green\, Olwen Jones\, Tessa Newcomb\, Sarah Nutley\, Graham Rust\, Gay Strutt and Julia Vezza. \nMark Bills added: “Our aim for Art Week is to close the gap on our fundraising target of a further £1.2 million by March 2018\, needed to bring this project to fruition. It’s a great challenge but we hope that Art Fair\, along with our Art Auction also taking place in Art Week\, will give all those with a love of art a unique   opportunity to bid for or buy a wonderful\, original work – whatever their budget – and in doing so be part of this exciting and ambitious project.” \nThe Autumn Art Fair takes place at the Old Labour Exchange in Weavers Lane\, Sudbury\n14-20 October: Open daily from 10am – 5pm (Sunday 11am – 5pm).\nFree entry all week and late night opening on Thursday 19 October until 8pm \nImage above: Megan Fishpool at Gainsborough’s House Print Workshop

SUMMARY:Simon Edge ‘Meet the Author’
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the Suffolk launch of Simon Edge’s new book The Hopkins Conundrum. \nA local author\, Simon Edge says of the novel “much of which was written in Sudbury\, and which has an East Anglian connection because one strand focuses on a shipwreck off the coast of Harwich.” \n“The Hopkins Conundrum is wonderfully enjoyable: a masterful mash-up of contemporary literary satire and poetic erudition which had me laughing out loud and then reaching for the collected works of a now neglected Victorian poet. Prepare to be delighted” \nLiz Trenow \nAuthor information\nSimon read philosophy at Cambridge University and worked as an English teacher in the Gaza Strip and a specialist journalist on the Middle East before becoming editor of the pioneering London paper Capital Gay and then entering Fleet Street. \nA gossip columnist on the Evening Standard\, he joined the staff of the Daily Express under editor Rosie Boycott and ended up staying 15 years\, working variously as a feature writer\, obituaries editor and theatre critic. He has also written for The Times\, The Guardian\, The Independent\, the Daily Telegraph\, Private Eye\, the New Statesman and Attitude\, where he is a contributing editor. He has been a regular broadcaster on BBC Radio 5 Live. Since leaving journalism he has worked as a political spin doctor and a publicist. \nSimon was on the inaugural intake of City University’s MA in Creative Writing and subsequently taught on that course as a visiting lecturer\, well before being published as a novelist himself. \nHe lives in Greenwich with a kleptomaniac whippet called Pippin. \nRead more about Simon and his work at www.simon-edge.com
