Exhibition at Sark Art Gallery: Watercolours and Costumes

The brand-new Sark Art Gallery and Museum on the Avenue in Sark opens its second exhibition on the evening of 18 June, showing Watercolour Paintings by Louise Hill and Costumes from Sark Theatre Group's production of A Midsummer Night's Dream by Sue Daly.

Sark resident Louise Hill has produced an array of watercolour paintings fulsomely capturing favourite elements of Sark that can be found when exploring its leafy lanes, cyclists and carriages. You can find examples of her work on her website www.louisehill.net.

Sue Daly, who also lives on Sark, is a talented seamstress, making beautiful costumes for Sark's community theatre productions. The costumes she made for A Midsummer Night's Dream in 2017 are lavishly decorated and accessorised with embroidered edging; flowery headdresses; horns; jewellery and more than you could hope for in a professional production of Shakespeare's most magical comedy.

Betty Guille's famous post box toppers, which were on show at the Art Gallery's opening, will remain on display throughout the summer.

Summer schedule

Louise's exhibition will run until 1st July, but some paintings, the costumes and Betty's toppers will continue to be displayed over the summer.
