THE COLLECTIVE

12 April 2021– 10 May 2021

The gallery re-opens with the brand new New Kent Art Collective. 10 Thanet artists are joining forces to create a collective of creatives that will bring a fabulous variety of art to Broadstairs in 2021. An artist collective is an initiative that is the result of a group of artists working together, usually under their own management, towards shared aims. By sharing equipment, space or materials, following shared ideologies, aesthetic and artistic views and working together as an extended family of creative like minded people, the New Kent Art Collective will bring together a unique, inspirational and enjoyable gallery space.

Karen H-King work ranges from oil and acrylic landscapes to resin pieces and illustrative ink and digital prints as well as large scale murals on local landmarks.

Sarah Stokes brings colour and vibrancy to her wonderful abstract paintings on canvas or wood and are collected by a number of clients around the world.

Christine Jeffryes work in glass combines wonderful glass fusing techniques and skilful colour use to create three dimensional work as well as beautiful painted glass panels.

Sian Morgan was born and raised in Margate and produces intricate ink and watercolour pieces based upon local architecture and landmarks.
