What's On in The Galleries

 

 

Landscapes of Dorset and Cornwall

 

13th June - 13th August 2023

 

Caroline Nairn is a Weymouth-based artist whose inspiration comes from the Dorset countryside and West Country coastline.  Her love of nature, walking and sketching outdoors has led her to create this exhibition of paintings and drawings, called Landscapes of Dorset and Cornwall.  Caroline usually works in acrylics, pastels or mixed media, and her focus in this show is on depicting local scenes, especially trees, water and rock structures, as the shapes and patterns in these natural forms provide her with fascinating projects. 

 

Tuesdays-Sundays from 10am until 4.30pm; check website www.lymeregismuseum.co.uk for holiday openings and admission charges

WATER AND SKY
 

15th August-1st October 2023

 

In this exhibition, two local artists--Mary Noon and Vivienne Littley--explore the constantly changing environments of our skies, seas and waterways through the media of watercolour, acrylics and collage.  They capture luminosity with metallics, drama with textures and emotional interaction through colour, offering the viewer a varied and exciting palette.

As they explain, “we have chosen ‘Water and Sky’ as our theme as we are constantly drawn to their ceaseless fluidity, movement and transformation, even within a few seconds of observation.  New colour spectrums emerge, expressing mood alterations, sometimes subtle, sometimes dramatic.  
New textures are created and dissolved, while the light continues to play in both mediums of sky and water, while exhibiting a symbiotic relationship in reflection and mood.”

WALKS and TOURS

Do take advice about safe tide times before setting off for more than fifteen minutes hike, without a guide, along our beautiful beaches: - what appears to be an easy bit of ground to scramble over is more likely to be a treacherous mud slide - don't risk it!

Liz Jones Memorial Walks
A selection of 12 walks around Lyme Regis area  to do at your leisure  see here for maps

FOSSIL WALKS

Get Fossiling on the Jurassic Coast! Join one of Lyme Regis Museum’s famous fossil walks along this historic stretch of Dorset coast with Geologist Paddy Howe and Marine Biologist Chris Andrew. Some families return time and again to search with Paddy and Chris among the sand and rocks for fossils that have been washed down onto the beach after 190 million years. For adults and children alike, it’s an unforgettable experience.
