ANGLIAN CONTEMPORARY ART FAIR
"40 Art Galleries bring contemporary paintings, drawings,
sculpture, original prints and studio ceramics by famous
and upcoming artists, contrasting with the timber framed
barns built for the Knights Templar in the 13th Century!"
Although the event seemed to be poorly advertised and
attendance figures were low, we managed to sell five
separate original works of art and a print. Many of the
other exhibitors failed to sell at all and those that did
only sold one or two pieces each, so we are very proud of
our achievements and especially proud of our Artists!
Thank you to all the Ovenden Contemporary Artists who
attended the Fair over the course of the weekend,
especially Geetha, who visited several times to help
out.

The
Barns were built by the Knights Templar in the thirteenth
Century, to house the estate’s stocks of Barley and
Wheat. The Knights’ manor house was sacked during
the Peasants’ Revolt of 1381. Now the two barns
remain, along with a fine Tudor Walled Garden and an 18th
Century Farmhouse.
