Two local artists, Jacqueline and Charlotte Burrage, will be holding an art exhibition at the Old Fire Station Gallery. Profits from sales of their work will be donated to local charities, Riverside Counselling and Home Start Reading.

Jacqueline was formerly a Translator and Interpreter and has developed a spontaneous painting style in gouache, acrylic and oils that highlights intense colour and energy.

Charlotte is studying Archaeology at the University of Edinburgh and has also gained an Arts Foundation Diploma from the Arts University of Bournemouth for which she was highly commended.

Their work has a strong focus on colour and is inspired by a love of the countryside and the Chilterns.

Making Waves is Spray Gallery’s first major exhibition, featuring artwork by street artists based in Montpellier, Southern France.

The exhibition tells the story of the street art movement in Montpellier and brings the careers of the artists to the international scene. Showcasing an eclectic mix of styles, the exhibition demonstrates the changing attitudes towards street art.

Local curator, Samuel Farlow, has studied in Montpellier and is excited to bring his artists to the UK contemporary art scene for the first time.
