With its stunning coastline views and<br />
rural settings the <strong>Lizard</strong> Peninusla is<br />
ahub of creative energy and artistic<br />
endeavours.<br />
The <strong>Lizard</strong> Art Co-Operative is a group of 15<br />
artists based at the Stable Yard Gallery, set<br />
within the courtyard of the Trelowarren Estate<br />
near Mawgan.<br />
They will be contributing to three exhibitions<br />
during 2013, with the season starting on<br />
March 29 and then running until November 1,<br />
closing with a two-week open Value Art Fair in<br />
support of a local charity.<br />
During this time the gallery is open daily<br />
between 11am and 4pm.<br />
Coverack Art Club celebrated its 40th<br />
anniversary last year,and continues to<br />
bring together artists from all over The<br />
<strong>Lizard</strong> and beyond.<br />
Weekly meetings are on Mondays from<br />
10.30am onwards at Lambeage Hall, from<br />
September through to mid-May.<br />
In the warmer months members meet for<br />
outings to gardens and beauty spots for some<br />
plein air painting.<br />
Coverack Art Club prides itself on being a<br />
friendly and informal group that welcomes<br />
complete beginners aswell as accomplished<br />
artists.<br />
For those who have always wanted to paint<br />
All the members live and work on the<br />
<strong>Lizard</strong> and each space will differ to the next<br />
– abstract, traditional, watercolour, oil, print,<br />
photography.<br />
As the gallery stewards are the members<br />
themselves, the aim is for visitors to feel<br />
able to chat to them or discuss the various<br />
techniques.<br />
As this is something that the gallery wants<br />
to expand, ‘Meet the Artist’ events take place<br />
the first Sunday of each new exhibition, when<br />
visitors can go and not only watch the artists<br />
at work but roll up their sleeves and have a<br />
try themselves.<br />
