This community art project involves a trail of artworks exploring some of the events in the final hours of Jesus' life. The artworks include paintings, photographic exhibits, drapes, metal sculpture and collages and, after display during Holy Week at various community locations, are now gathered together for display at Fairfield Church until 12th April (daily, 9.00 am - 12 noon). Each artwork will be accompanied by one of Jonathan's meditations and an explanation from the artist. The Northwood and Northwood Hills Art Stns are part of a passion for life. Admission is free.

Sarah Ollerenshaw is planning towards a solo show in May at St Peter’s Notting Hill. “the gallery” is a new contemporary art space in the heart of Notting Hill housed in the newly refurbished St Peter`s church. The space is unique in that it is in the centre of a thriving community and is surrounded by existing architectural and artistic features. The ambition of “the gallery” is to support new and existing creative talent in all mediums from painting and sculpture to installations, film-making and music. The church family want to embrace the arts and to help the local community enjoy, learn and be inspired by events and shows which all will be welcome to attend. Sarah is also anticipating her work being included in Icon? The Art of Faith at Norwich Castle Museum and Art Gallery in the autumn.

Valerie Dean will be having an exhibition of her paintings together with photographs by her husband Roger Dean in London during the month of June. It will be at Pages of Hackney, 70 Lower Clapton Road, Hackney E5 0RN. There will be a private view on Saturday, 5 June from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. and they should be very happy to see you there. The exhibition will also be open in June during shop hours, which are Monday to Friday 11am - 7pm, Saturday 11am - 6pm and Sunday noon - 6pm. They look forward to seeing as many of us as possible at the private view. Valerie and Roger's work was recently seen together in a show of 16 Swale artists held at the Horsebridge Arts & Community Centre in Whitstable.

Northwood & Northwood Hill Stations

Commission For Mission member, Jonathan Evens has contributed meditations on the Stations of the Cross to a community arts project connecting with events surrounding Easter in Northwood & Northwood Hills.

Visitors are able to stroll between local venues and enjoy the various art on offer. The artwork has been produced by local artists and community groups to explore some of the events in the final hours of Jesus’ life. The art work includes photographic pieces, drapes, paintings, metal sculpture and collage. Each station is accompanied by an explanation from the artist and a poem by Jonathan.

Please click here for more info. Jonathan's meditations were originally written last year for a similar Lent & Easter project in Hertford called Hertford stns.
