North Herts Council is proud to support the Hitchin Art Club as they celebrate their 81st year with an exciting opportunity to occupy Unit 17 in Churchgate, Hitchin (previously Tim's Art Shop), for the next 12 weeks. Thanks to the Council's generosity, this space will showcase the creative talents of local artists whilst making use of an empty unit in the Churchgate Centre.
From 19 October, the public is invited to enjoy the club's Annual Exhibition, featuring original paintings from Hitchin Art Club members, all of which will be available for purchase. This will be followed by a pop-up gallery running up to Christmas, where additional works from club members will be on display, alongside special guest artists, including professional painter James Willis.
Cheryl Hare, a spokesperson for Hitchin Art Club, expressed her gratitude: "I cannot tell you how excited our members at Hitchin Art Club are to hold our Annual Exhibition in such a fantastic space at No. 17 Churchgate. A huge thank you to North Herts Council for making this possible. We’ve worked hard to freshen up the venue, and it’s now the perfect setting to showcase the incredible talent within our club."
Steve Crowley, Service Director, Enterprise at North Herts Council, added: "We’re absolutely delighted to support Hitchin Art Club by providing this space at Churchgate. This project really brings the community together and breathes new life into the area. I encourage everyone to come down, explore the exhibition, and enjoy the fantastic artwork on display. It’s a great way to support local artists and celebrate the creative spirit in Hitchin. "
