Law Firm’s Exhibition is a Real Draw for Local
Artists
Local artists from across the
region have been given the opportunity to showcase their work in
the latest community art initiative by law firm B P
Collins. The Gerrards Cross based
practice is a strong supporter of art projects and has now teamed
up with Art Works for Business (AWB), a Creative Bucks project
which champions artists and businesses across the
county.
Some 29 pieces of original
art from 23 artists have been given pride of place in The Chalfont
Suite, the law firm’s state-of-the-art suite of meeting rooms, with
a range of mediums including watercolours, pastels, acrylics and
even computer pieces.
Karl Wingfield, chief
operating officer, said: “Supporting local artists and the
creative community is important to us and the exhibition is a great
example of the benefits of local businesses and art working
together. We hope that not only will visitors to our offices enjoy
the artworks, which showcase the wealth a local talent, but that
the artists will feel proud to see their work on
display.”
Laura Boswell, AWB
Co-ordinator, said: “I am delighted that Art Works for Business
has been able to help B P Collins with their innovative exhibition
space, which has allowed many local artists to display their work
to a varied audience for an extended period.
It is a real bonus for our
artists to have work on show in an business environment and to be
able to provide a source of enjoyment for the staff and visitors to
B P Collins.”
The exhibition runs until May
and visitors to The Chalfont Suite, which regularly hosts seminars
and events throughout the year, will be able to purchase the
paintings. Since opening in January 2008, previous exhibitions have
highlight work by German artist Helmut Otto and photography
students from Amersham and Wycombe
College.
