Open Day in Southall For Truth and Reconciliation

Ealing Autumn Festival painting exhibition  nears the end of its borough-wide tour

Southall Library is the latest venue for Ealing Autumn Festival’s Truth and Reconciliation painting exhibition – as it starts to near the end of its tour across the borough.

The exhibition is at the library in Jubilee Gardens until November 17  and on Saturday, November, November 5 an Open Day is being staged (2-4pm). There will be the chance for children to design a letter to contribute to the Public Collage and also name the paintings on display.

Festival artistic director Gillian Spragg said “At the recent open days at Ealing Central Library two of the Truth and Reconciliation artists, Helen Tyler and Naomi Healy, came to talk about their paintings. They took us on an imaginative journey, starting with a completely blank canvas, and showing how inspiration and skill come together to create their work.

“Visitors were asked to think of titles for the paintings and many people have been taken by the multi-coloured lines on Helen painting, imagining a rainbow: Rainbow River, Rainbow Volcano or simply The Road Home.”

Last weekend the festival’s ingenious musical dice throwing game The Digital MozArt took part at the International MozFest 2016 in Greenwich.

The Truth and Reconciliation exhibition’s next stop after Southall is Northfields Library from November 19-Decwember 1.
