From abstract to apocalypse

Contemporary art expert Colin Pink, presented the Horsham Arts Society’s May lecture at the Brighton Road Baptist Church. The subject, Wassily Kandinsky and Franz Marc: Art and Apocalypse, revealed the skilful art of these two innovators, inspired in their paintings by music, theosophy, and abstract symbolism.

Between 1911 and 1914 Wassily Kandinsky and Franz Marc (two of the founding members of The Blue Rider artists’ group in Munich) believed that they were working together to create a new art for a new spiritual era that was about to dawn.

CELEBRATING EQUALITY AND DIVERSITY WITH LOCAL SCHOOLS

Celebrating Creativity and Diversity with Local Schools

The Arts Society Ribble & Craven is proud to have recently supported an inspiring art project with pupils from Bolton-by-Bowland and Grindleton primary schools.

Led by artist Bella Chesney, every child took part in designing and creating a vibrant silk hanging on the theme of Diversity. The finished artworks are not only beautiful, but also thoughtful reflections of individuality and unity – we think they’re absolutely delightful.

In the Footsteps of Frank O. Salisbury: A Local Heritage Trail

Frank O Salisbury
We wanted local people to be able to find and see the artworks he left in
Harpenden (mostly stained glass) and the houses in which he lived and worked.
So the trail guide shows where he was born, his first married home and the one
he had built later, Red Gables, to give himself much more studio space. Also he
designed the town crest and it - or at least a replica - still stands on the
common. The original is in the local history museum. Prints of two of his large
pageant pictures are also available in the Town Hall.
