Art in the Garden at Penshurst Place
Glorious Gardens Weekend- 2nd & 3rd June
A Unique Collaboration
Crowborough Arts has collaborated with Penshurst Place for the past six years in holding winter art exhibitions and other events on the estate. in 2017 we were thrilled to be asked to help celebrate Penshurst’s Year of Arts and Culture: our visual artists were invited to draw and paint, free of charge, in the formal gardens throughout the season. Over thirty artists took up the invitation and a wide range of excellent work was produced, so much so that a section of our Winter Exhibition was devoted to the works created during the project.
We're delighted to be invited back for 2018. Members will need to re-apply for an Art in the Garden pass, valid for the new season. Details of opening times are on the Penshurst Place website.
Still set out largely in the original Elizabethan ‘rooms’, Penshurst’s formal gardens are full of beautiful vistas, with the House as an unforgettable backdrop.
The gardens are spectacular throughout the year, with glorious blossom and spring flowers early on, the famous double peony border in early June and later in the summer, the double borders of the Jubilee Walk with their lovely rainbow planting scheme.
CA artists are particularly welcome to draw and paint during Penshurst’s Glorious Gardens weekend on 2nd and 3rd June. Last year around twenty artists turned out over the two days, thanks to glorious weather! Some chose to paint the house and garden, while others took advantage of the life models provided. The event was facilitated by our life and portrait tutor, Mary Harris. Some of the work generated can be seen below.
