Our exhibition of artwork produced by children from four local primary schools will be open from 14th January until 28th January at three venues in Herne Bay.
The competition is sponsored by Southern Water and there are some fantastic paintings and models on three themes - Sea Creatures, The Seaside and Cleaner Seas.
We will also be displaying some great ideas from the next generation about what they would like to see on the new Herne Bay Pier.
The work is on display in the Pier Trust Gallery on the seafront which will open on each Saturday and Sunday only from 11am-3pm. More pictures and models are on show in the Kings Hall Foyer and the Bay Art Gallery in William Street.
Pupils from Herne Bay Infants and Juniors, Briary School and Reculver C.E. Primary took part in the competition. The winners in each group will be announced soon.
Please come along to see the work and support the next generation of our town.
We still have a few copies of our 2012 calendar available to purchase at the exhibition.
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.
Any member unable to attend last night can collect a copy of the Annual Report and Accounts for our Gallery on the seafront or can download a copy here. You can also watch our new film which we premiered last night by clicking on the link below.
