Saturday 4th & Sunday 5th April
Exhibition of Life Drawings
Found in an attic and nearly lost forever, this remarkable collection of Edwardian drawings by Eleanor Grace Scarborough returns to Tavistock. Like so many talented women artists of the time, her work has had little recognition. However the drawings, forgotten for a hundred years, have survived to be treasured once again. This exhibition aims to throw some light on the struggles faced by women artists in the early 1900s and Grace’s drawings have been lovingly restored and framed, so that her work can continue to inspire and delight whilst helping raise money for charities. This time her work will be exhibited in, and raise money for the newly refurbished community building, The Printworks. This magnificent Arts and Craft building first opened in 1907 when Grace was a young woman pursuing her passion for art. With its high ceilings and beautiful rows of windows designed to let in maximum light, it provides the perfect venue for this exhibition.
10am to 5pm at The Printworks, Pym Street, Tavistock. For details of other events at The Printworks visit printworkstavistock.org.uk
