1. Dartmouth
Galleries Week
 
Baxters on Foss St will be taking
part in Dartmouth Galleries which is a week earlier this year –
the private views are on Friday 14th October from 6-9pm. The
Baxters show is entitled “Print and Pattern” and celebrates
artists who produce original prints or work with applied
pattern.
Sarah Duggan reports “We are happy to be showing a group of
artists this October, some of whom are new to the gallery and
some who have successfully shown with us before. Printmakers
include Alan Stones’ black and white lithographs, Gail Kelly’s
linocuts on Irish linen and Clare Cutts screen prints and
embossed figures. 2 artists will show 3-dimensional framed
pieces – local artist Joanne Smith, known for her seahorses with
mixed pottery and shell collages and Joseph Silcott, known for
his butterflies with layered paper collages. Andy Povey’s
recycled painted wood blocks using classic logos, Charlotte
Tangye’s boat print lampshades and Katie Almond’s nostalgic
collaged ceramics represent the 3d category and complete the
exhibition”.
There will be 9 galleries with new
exhibitions – why not come and visit? To see Dartmouth's

White Sails Sale
Once again it is that time of
year when White Sails Gallery draws its summer season to a
close with a huge sale. Adam Edsall, the owner of the
gallery said, “There are hundreds of items being discounted
by up to 75% this year as we try to make room in the gallery
for some new artists starting with us this autumn”. The sale
contains originals, limited editions, prints and photography as
well as a selection of mirrors, ornaments, jewellery and
frames. Work by artists such as Richard Thorn, Hannah Cole,
Sue Howells and John Skinner are all included. The sale will
run until the end of October and there are certain to be
many great bargains to be found. |
Why
not come down for the weekend, or even a week?

Dartmouth on the TV again!
Airing this Friday on Channel 4
at 9:00pm is The Hunt For Tony Blair, the latest, long awaited reunion
for the Comic Strip crew.
The 60minute film is penned by
Peter Richardson and Pete Richens and follows Prime Minister
Tony Blair (Stephen Mangan), wanted for murder and on the
run. Escaping from Number 10 and leaving behind his adoring
wife Cherie (Catherine Shepherd), Tony vows to clear his
name no matter what the consequences.
But on a foggy London night, Tony has few friends willing to
harbour a wanted man and with front pages demanding his
capture, Blair has no choice but to go on the run, with
Inspector Hutton (Robbie Coltrane) and his sidekick (James
Buckley) hot on his trail. The chase unfolds thanks to
evidence gleaned from his ‘allies' Mandelson (Nigel Planer)
and Brown (Ford Kiernan), as well as an unlikely encounter
with Margaret Thatcher (Jennifer Saunders - a la Bette
Davies in ‘Whatever Happened to Baby Jane'). Surely Tony's
an innocent man, pursued for a crime he didn't commit?
The cast also includes Harry Enfield as Alistair Campbell, Rik Mayall as Professor Predictor, Morgana Robinson as Carol
Caplin, John Sessions as Thatcher's butler and Ross Noble as
an ‘old Labour' Tramp.

A lot of it was filmed in the
streets of Dartmouth as well as the Guildhall shown above.

Do we love cameras?
yes we do!
We usually carry Nikon professional cameras and if not
an expensive Canon IXUS. But there are times when
we forget, and the image of the Boatfloat at the top of
this news was just one of those occasions where we were
without a proper camera. But then Dave remembered
he "always" carries his 9mm thin iPhone 4, and so it was
brought into use. So there is an iPhone 4 image of
Dartmouth last Friday.
