Ealing Autumn Festival’s Truth and Reconciliation exhibition has now moved to Acton following its launch last month.
Visitors have been admiring paintings by members of the Hanwell based 4020 Art Group at Ealing Central Library over the past few weeks and they have now started their tour of libraries across the borough during the year as part of this year’s festival.
Acton Library is the second port of call and the artwork, depicting Truth and Reconciliation with a special reference to Shakespeare in the playwright’s 400th year, is on display until May 26.
There is an open day at the library on Saturday, May 14 (2-4pm) which will include the opportunity to find out more about Shakespeare, take part in a public collage of the exhibition and under 25s will be able to sign up for an Arts Award.
Festival artistic director Gillian Spragg said: “We had a wonderful day at Ealing Central Library launching the new exhibition and now look forward to it embarking on its tour around the borough.
“The paintings and collage are really remarkable works of arts. The more you look at them, the more you realise that they are equal to the visual art you will see in many famous galleries in central London. Our very grateful thanks go to Naomi Healy, Maggie Le Rougetel, Sam Rough, Helen Tyler and to our young artist, Batrisyie Hussain.
“The major part of the launch day was spent creating a public collage to show Truth and Reconciliation and Shakespeare. Councillor Jon Ball was a very welcome guest who took part placing the letter H in the word Truth.
“We also launched a borough wide project to bring Arts Award more broadly to Ealing. This is a national accreditation for the artistic activities that young people and children undertake.”
The exhibition is being held in collaboration with Ealing Libraries and CCS (Cultural Community Solutions) with full details at www.ealingautumnfestival.co.uk.
