Join us for the last day of the exhibition We Lifted the Earth for a free artist talk and tour by one of its artists Lily German.

 'Tell us a story...' is an exhibition celebrating storytelling through visual means, featuring works from emerging and contemporary illustrators and animators.

This is the first exhibition focused on illustration and animation that the Gerald Moore Gallery has curated, and each work has been selected by students aged 11-16 from Eltham College, for their ability to spark imagination and delve into other worlds.

A selection of artists were researched by Curator Ruth Borthwick, to be shortlisted by students at Eltham College, each sent in images and film that responded to the title, ‘Tell us a story...’. and 20 were then invited to exhibit from this selection process.

Students were asked to consider how each image had a narrative within the work that captured their interest.

What a fantastic event yesterday! With over 30 teaching and support staff from Castlecombe Primary attending our 'Using Art for Wellbeing' CPD event as part of their INSET day. The CPD is one of three we are offering Castlecombe throughout the school year,  as they are one of the partners in our 'Art Therapy and Wellbeing in Schools Project' funded by Mottingham Big Local Refocused.

Gerald Moore Gallery is thrilled to annouce that Big Local Refocused Mottingham have awarded us £30,000 for a three year project called 'Art Therapy and Wellbeing in Schools'.

The project support primary aged children with their emotional wellbeing through Art therapy, using the gallery's exhibition and collection as a stimulus, in therapy sessions and gallery visits. It also supports teachers with their emotional development through wellbeing activities and CPD events, both in school and at the gallery.

We are working with three different primary schools each year in the Mottingham area starting with Mottingham Primary in April 2021.

In 2023 the project will culminate with a free public art exhibition on the importance of 'Art for Health and Wellbeing' bringing together some of the works and findings from the schools who participated in the project to promote this message to a wider community.

Patrick Altes (http://patrickaltes.com)

International artist, whose solo show “Tolerance”, we are currently exhibiting.

A leading light in the emerging Franco-Algerian art movement, Altes’s first-hand experience of unjust, brutal and discriminatory societies fuelled a sense for the politically, socially and humanly acceptable which has become a thematic concern visible in all his creative work. In this timely, major exhibition, Altes confronts negative cultural stereotypes and advocates for tolerance and respect in times of angst, division and separatism.

Nadene Ghouri, writer and broadcaster  (http://www.andrewlownie.co.uk/authors/nadene-ghouri)
