Always an exhibition to view

One of the interesting things that I enjoy about Lyme Regis is that there is always an exhibition or show of art, crafts or photographer somewhere on show.  And that goes for the surrounding towns and villages at well.

For example, last week I went to our local town mill to view an exhibition of local photographers whose pictures were on show for the month of August.  It was an eclectic mix of pictures with no real theme but the quality was excellent.


Then, last week, I went to the next town along the coast, Seaton, to view their art society's annual show.  The work there ranged from average to excellent but it was difficult to get into any of the pictures as it was their last day and club members were talking about packing up noisily rather than giving the viewer a chance to enjoy and absorb the art.

Then, of course, we have the week long Arts Fest which takes place every year.  This allows visitors to gain access to otherwise unavailable artists' and photographers' studios in the town and surrounding area.  There are also events put on covering a multitude of different mediums to everyone to enjoy.  It's a veritable feast for the senses.  There is always something going on in Lyme, open to anyone.
