       October 2012

Saturday the 3rd November is almost here! We have one exhibitor stranded in New York and so Thames ART will be sadly missed this weekend. So, we have 22 stalls including art, print, craft, wood turning, crochet, stained glass, handmade food, jewellery...
All original work...


November promises to be very busy in the run up to Christmas. The collective continues to develop and expand with so much support and interest. The space and light of The Apex is the ideal venue for exhibiting with the gallery space upstairs. Currently there is a powerful exhibition upstairs celebrating Black History Month from the 8th - 25th October.

Our next event is Saturday 6th October.
The Christmas flyer is out. We have Saturday 1st  and Sunday 2nd December at The Apex with different exhibitors for each day. It promises to be a showcase of Suffolk's creativity and a real opportunity to support up and coming designer makers.

Sunday 20th February

The Apex is a wonderful addition to Bury St.Edmunds. My family and I wandered by this afternoon, Sunday 20th February to have a look at The Milkmaid folk banners and spotted that the monthly dance event had just begun. We had a coffee and enjoyed the ambience and music when my middle daughter spotted a fella in a kilt and was keen to know if he was going to play the bagpipes! We then had a real treat watching different dance groups around Suffolk showcase their fantastically different dance styles, from Scottish Reels to Argentine Tango to Contemporary Dance. It was a great buzz and a brilliant community event.
Check out Footloose at The Apex!

From Local Secrets, November 2010

...Their promise of an 'eclectic mix' of items was lived up to with paintings and artwork, handmade soft furnishings and homewares, crocheted clothing, homemade produce and preserves, jewellery and gorgeous antique wooden boxes. This was a great place to avoid the crowds and arctic temperatures but still find some unique and high quality gifts and treats for all the family, and with the collective also providing a cafe for the day, this ticked all our boxes.

Exhibitors

Luckily we seem to be picking up some momentum now for gathering exhibitors. This is an exciting time for us having a preview of artistic creativity.
Time to start marketing the event.
