The Final Countdown

Just ONE WEEK left before the Ten Group 5th Anniversary exhibition opens on Tuesday 13th January 2015 at Guildford Cathedral, Surrey.

All are welcome to the Preview Evening on Monday 12th January at 6.30pm in the Cathedral, drinks and nibbles will be served.

We look forward to welcoming you there.

The countdown begins...

Only ONE MONTH to go before the next Ten exhibition opens at Guildford Cathedral.  Our new offering will be called QUINQUENNIAL which means 5th anniversary and which will be a celebration of 2015 being the 5th year since we all graduated from the BA (Hons) Fine Art course at UCA Farnham in 2010.  Because our graduation ceremony took place at Guildford Cathedral, we felt it was a fitting place to celebrate our achievement and this exhibition draws on the Cathedral and its environs as inspiration for the work which will be on display.

Ten warmly welcome everyone to come along and celebrate with us at the Private View which will be on Monday 12th January between 6.30pm and 7.30pm, and you feel able to join us at choral evensong you would be most welcome from 5.30pm.

Even if you can't make the Preview evening, we hope that you may be able to visit at some other time.  The exhibition is open from Tuesday 13th January to Thursday 22nd January 2015 between 9.30am and 5.30pm everyday (including Sunday).

So long, farewell, we hate to say goodbye....

Sadly all good things must come to an end and today our current exhibition at Cranleigh Arts Centre closed.  We have had a good month, with many visitors and some very positive comments and feedback as well as a few sold items!

Here is what the last few visitors before the exhibition closed had to say about what they saw:

It is always nice to read what the visiting public have to say about our work and we are really pleased that we have been able to interest and inspire our visitors.

The GOOD NEWS is that we have another exhibition opening in January 2015 (13th to 23rd) at GUILDFORD CATHEDRAL, Stag Hill, Guildford, Surrey and we really hope some of you may be able to come and see new and previously unseen work there.

The final few days

It's the last few days next week of our current exhibition at Cranleigh Arts Centre.  The Centre is open Tuesday to Saturday 10.00am to 4.30pm and the best bit is that when you've had a look at the exhibition there is yummy tea and cake available from the Art Tea House at the Centre!

Here's what some of our first visitors had to say about what they saw...

...and here's a quick reminder of what you are missing!

George Simpson.

A diptych I've just finished as a commission to commemorate  life in Benghazi before and during the six day war in 1967.  The patterns and symbols denote events and locations at that time.  There are a number of jokes and stories embedded within each painting, which are a challenge for the client to solve.  A pity they weren't finished in time to show in the Cranleigh exhibition.  They go to America in November.

NineTENths opens at Cranleigh Arts Centre

It's finally arrived, the latest exhibition by Ten is fully installed and opens tomorrow (Tuesday 7th October 2014) at Cranleigh Arts Centre.

Members of the group gathered on a rainy Monday morning to hang the work and even with a couple of breaks for coffee we finished in record time and were done by 2.30pm - clearly we are getting practiced at this!

Members of TEN discuss hanging options

Below is a sneak peak of the work on show...

The final exhibition 

As well as showing our work in the beautiful gallery space above, the group were also offered the opportunity to show extra work in a smaller gallery area at Cranleigh Arts Centre.  The Glass Gallery is a large glass fronted cabinet which allowed us to show a mixture of work, some of which is very delicate.

This latest exhibition, "NineTENths" opens on Tuesday 7th October  and runs until Saturday 1st November 2014 at Cranleigh Arts Centre (1 High Street, Cranleigh, Surrey, GU6 8AS) and is open for viewing from 10.00 am to 4.30pm Tuesday to Saturday.

Counting down again...

It's now only 3 weeks until the next Ten group exhibition opens on 7th October at Cranleigh Arts Centre (1 High Street, Cranleigh, Surrey, GU6 8AS).  On until 1st November the exhibition is  open Tuesdays to Saturdays 10.00am to 4.30pm.  Do come down, we'd love to see you!
