Art Preview Evening

The Interiors Shop Limited
9 Castle Croft Road
Westminster Park

Thu 5 July 2018 19:00 – 21:00 BST

https://eventbrite.co.uk/e/art-preview-evening-tickets-46972488979

The Interiors Shop is proud to host this event which is the preview to a new range of artwork which will be available in store, by London-based artist Charlie Yallop.

Having grown up surrounded by the coast, Charlie established himself by creating paintings that draw inspiration from the world around him.

Although Charlie didn’t choose a career in the art world, his passion to connect to his creative flair is something he now focuses on to bring his travels alive and capture the sense of places he visits.

He regularly creates commissioned artwork that brings other people’s travels and surroundings into their homes, working predominately on large canvases in acrylics with a bold and abstract style.

Charlie has kindly offered to donate 10% of all sales of artwork at the event to our wonderful Chester-based charity, B.I.R.D, who bring hope through treatment to people with brain injury and learning diffuclties. We will also match that by donating 10% of any other sales on the night. Find out more about B.I.R.D’s life-changing work at birdcharity.org

We look forward to you joining us for drinks and nibbles with the opportunity to preview these original artworks and meet the artist in an informal and relaxed setting.

WESTMINSTER PARK BRIDGE CLUB

Special welcoming evenings Thursdays

After the success of our “Try Us” evenings we have decided to extend the invitation and there will be no fee on the initial evenings.

We can promise partners if you come alone; or you may prefer to come as a pair.

Do you enjoy social bridge?

Have you thought of joining a club?

That’s a new challenge with new people and you may think you’re not good enough to start.

If you have some experience and can play at a reasonable pace then we may be just what you are looking for.

On the other hand, you may already have played in a club and know what it’s all about.

We can also promise a congenial atmosphere; while we stick to the rules, we apply them in a sympathetic manner!

We play from 7 until 10 each Thursday at the Community Centre in Westminster Park, Chester. There is ample parking and a licensed bar for members.

For further details, you will find us on Facebook @wpbridge or at www.wpbridge.club on the web.

For enquiries, you can post on Facebook; you can email wpbridge@outlook.com; or you can call me on 01244 675923.

Lastly, you may skip the enquiry stage and come on any Thursday.

Looking forward to seeing you,

Nick Ryan
