It's a particularly murky day today, so cheer yourself up by finding out what's coming up from CA over the next few months. Our regular art workshops, book and play reading groups are lined up, plus some exciting music and talks. Well-known musician and lecturer Peter Medhurst visits us in May to talk about the relationship between music and painting - this will set out quickly, so get your tickets now! And this is all just for starters - more info will be going on the site in the near future, including a talk in October with acclaimed novelist and playwright Simon Brett.

The website has been brought up to date this very morning, so do have a look at what's happening - and put a note in your diary to join us at the AGM on 24th February for more news!

Brighten up these increasingly dark evenings with an early festive visit to our Winter exhibition at Penshurst's Porcupine Pantry. As well as the opportunity to view and purchase original artwork, the fantastic gift shop is open until 7.00 and all our visitors will be offered a glass of mulled wine. Everyone welcome, but please be sure to RSVP to ​angelavb@waitrose.com

We'll soon be calling for submissions for our annual winter exhibition at Penshurst, which opens on Wednesday 14th November. As with last year, we'll reserve part of the hanging space for pictures created as part of our 'Art in the Garden' partnership with Penshurst Place. With these lovely sunny autumn days we're having, it's the ideal opportunity to spend some time in the formal gardens at Penshurst drawing or painting.

We have less than 10 tickets left for Leading Ladies, our celebration of women, taking place on Friday, 28th September. This is one of our miscellany events, featuring readings, poetry and sketches from familiar and new faces, plus the brilliant musicianship of Jo May and Sarah Matthews. We always sell out, so don't delay if you'd like to come!

Crowborough Arts has a stall at the Friends of Rotherfield and the Brook Surgery tomorrow. We've got lots of info about what we're up to, plus some cards for sale, generously donated by Crowborough Arts artists. All proceeds go to the Friends of the surgeries, so do support us ... and them!

So hot off the press, it hasn't even gone to press yet! But it is online, so click here to have a look at the latest newsletter.

​We've just finished setting up the work of around half a dozen of our artists in the upstairs room of the Kings Arms, Rotherfield. This is part of their 'Jazz and Art' event, which kicks off tonight at 7.00. Do support this great local free event - and take your pocket money with you - there's bound to be something that takes your fancy! Thanks to Becky Haygarth for inviting us!
