It is with sadness that we mark the passing of Ann Crawford, who died at the end of July. Ann was a talented artist and loyal member of the Friends, whose life was as vibrant and colourful as her art.

How do you run an art gallery that no one can visit? When The Heseltine Gallery had to close because of the pandemic, we faced this dilemma. One year ago today we launched our website www.theheseltinegallery.org.uk and unbeknownst to us, this would be the answer to an otherwise impossible question.

Over 30 artists have come together at The Heseltine Gallery for an online community art exhibition in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The exhibition explores the theme of portraiture and self-expression and was inspired by the idea that art can help us to process difficult emotions and to reflect on the challenging experience of life during a global crisis.

The Heseltine Gallery is hosting an online exhibition featuring works from local artists on the theme of Art in Isolation. Artists were asked to reflect on the effects that the Coronavirus has had on them as individuals and society in general, submitting up to three pieces of work to be added to the virtual exhibition.
