Exhibitions

Sculptures by Magnus
Canalside Heritage Centre Garden, July and August 2022, FREE admission

Originally from Iceland, Magnus moved to Nottingham 16 years ago and was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease 7 years ago. He previously worked as a steel fabricator and a blacksmith, helping with the renovation of St Paul's Cathedral in 2004. here's a bit more about Magnus in his own words:

"I have a passion for working with metals and enjoy seeing a plain piece of metal being transformed into a beautiful object. I find that now I am unable to go to work the metal work gives me a purpose plus it keeps my brain and hands working. I do not notice the Parkinson’s tremors whilst I am working. I am slower than I used to be and some days I cannot do as much as I’d like to but it does keep me going.  I have Parkinson’s but it doesn’t have me.

Around 18 months ago just before the Pandemic started I was on holiday in Florida and visited a Sculpture Festival which inspired me to start making my own creations - I came home and made my garage into a workshop and bought a basic welding machine and started my new journey.

I do hope you enjoy looking at my creations as much as I enjoy making them."

Exhibition by Kim Adams
Weir View Room and Tearoom, July and August 2022, Free admission

Throughout July and August, local artist Kim Adams is exhibiting original works in the tearoom and Weir View Room at the Canalside Heritage Centre. Kim has always been passionate about art, but her love for it was truly ignited after her children had grown up and she attended the prestigious Arts Institute, Bournemouth, obtaining a BA in Fine Art as a mature student.

Kim usually works with oils or pastels, but does sometimes use acrylics. Her love of the outdoors is conveyed in all of her work from sweeping coastal landscapes to the finer details of the wildlife and plants depicted. Kim is also a member of a number of local art groups, as well as national societies including; Society of Women Artists, International Wildlife Artists and Pastel Artists. She hopes you enjoy viewing the works in the exhibition as much as she has enjoyed creating them.
