The Lockdown Window Exhibition display in SerenArts Gallery ARTS and craft workshops in Bradford on Avon are pulling together to host a window-displayed exhibition where walkers can view local wares in a safe, socially distanced environment. The exhibition includes work from painters, potters, sculptors, photographers and potters, and will have a weekly rotation of products for locals to enjoy at a distance. The initiative was launched by local artist, Tanya Achilleos Lock, of the Corner Gallery, near the Barton Farm Country Park and Tithe Barn, who is hoping it will go nationwide. She said: The initiative is in aid of local businesses forced to forfeit profits due to lockdown restrictions, as well as bringing walkers a little bit of joy.

They ve organised a Lockdown Window Exhibition at The Tithe Barn Gallery and nearby workshops. The initiative is the brainchild of local artist Tanya Lock, owner of the Corner Gallery, and a finalist in the BBC Wildlife Artist competition. She said: “The idea came from seeing all those rainbows in the windows. I thought, why can’t a similar thing be done to support local artists. The exhibition will include work from local glassmakers, painters and potters and will have a weekly rotation of products for locals to enjoy on their daily walks. Some of the art is from private collections and shows paintings that have won BBC Wildlife Artist awards.
