Although well known in Kent and Medway, this is only the second exhibition by Herne Bay artist Phil Harden in his home town. Painting mainly in oils and acrylics in his studio in Oxenden Square, Herne Bay and in open air, Phil specialises in landscapes and seascapes using a mix of impressionistic and expressionistic styles.
Phil will be exhibiting his work in the HBPT gallery (yellow building next to wetherspoons) on
Fri 4th May - Sun 6th May 11am - 4pm
Fri 11th May - Sun 13th May 11am - 4pm
Fri 18th May - Sun 20th May 11am - 4pm
Admission is free so please come along and see the art and support Herne Bay and the Pier Trust.
The exhibition is titled "Show of Support" because it is just that: Phil's show of support for the aims and work of the Herne Bay Pier Trust. For that reason all the paintings are of Herne Bay and the centre-piece of this exhibition is a large painting of the end of the pier silhouetted against a bright sunset producing a dramatic and colourful effect.
Nagasaki 3 played an absolutely storming set on Saturday performing Rock 'n' Roll and Surf classics keeping the crowd warm in the Winter Wonderland!
They'll be playing at the Divers Arms this Friday (23rd Dec) so if you missed them at the Bandstand get down to see them, you won't be disappointed. Then Sunday evening saw the brilliant Ain't Misbehaving; an acoustic Swing/Jazz/Soul duo performing some classic tunes alongside some Christmas favourites in unique style.
Don't forget there is live music every night at the Bandstand from 6pm, all the acts are performing for free in aid of the Herne Bay Pier Trust and we can't thank them enough for giving their time so please come down and show your appreciation and enjoy some great free entertainment!

This is a sale by donation of original art-work and festive decorations which are made locally and available at an affordable price. Proceeds from the event will go to the Herne Bay Pier Trust to help regenerate the pier for the future
A new exhibition opens at The Gallery this week. Peter Gander is a local artist, well-known for his humorous postcards and prints. His first painting of Herne Bay commemorates the Pier Pavilion and shows the pier and bay festooned with colourful characters enjoying the Crab Competition in a Where’s Wally style image full of delightful detail.
Peter has donated all funds for the auction of this painting to the Trust. The lucky winner of the auction (any visitor to the Gallery can see the original) will get a ‘bit on the side’ as Peter designed the painting with a saucy image covered up by the Trust’s logo when it appears as a postcard. Postcards are available at the Gallery and half the proceeds of these donations will go to the Trust. Peter said ‘I’d like to see more seaside postcard-writing as they are dying out against the competition of the convenient but charmless, holiday text. The pavilion postcard will make a great keepsake after the building is gone.”
Peter is also exhibiting some slightly more serious local paintings at the Gallery for the whole of September, so have a gander soon.
Thank you to all those members who came to our AGM yesterday. We are proud to welcome our four new trustees who are Lynn Faux-Bowyer, Philip Gambrill, Dave Shepherd and Doreen Stone.
