Congratulations to Isle of Wight photographer Chad Powell - who OnTheWight has been championing for many years - for his Isle of Wight Milky Way shots which have made the national press.
If you haven't seen Portrait of an Island at Dimbola Museum and Galleries yet, make sure you pop over in the next two weeks. It's an outstanding exhibition, showcasing contemporary cultural talent on the Isle of Wight.
This exhibition by Quay Crafts is not hidden away in a room of its own. The 15 different pieces of work, by ten artists, mingle, dance, stand boldly or sit comfortably amongst the treasures of Queen Victoria.
The Chief Executive of the Association of Colleges said that Alice Armfield’s shortlisted image is a worthy contender for this national award and we agree! Best of luck at the final in November.
Paul Armfield's exhibition runs from 10th October 2015 – 3rd January 2016 and all are welcome to the private view this Friday between 6-8pm at Dimbola Museum and Galleries.
Very talented Isle of Wight photographer, Julian Winslow, has had his work recognised by Art Vinyl. With your help he could be bagging a national award.
As part of the bi-centenary, the V&A bring out their Julia Margaret Cameron collection. Pop across to the Science Museum if you do visit, as they also have her handwritten autobiography and other items on display.
Pharmacist Gordon Chubb has decoded the homeopathic treatments patients received and the local historian Robin McInnes displays his collection of 19th and early 20th century photographs taken of patients and hospital life.
