MARKET HALL TRADERS PORTRAIT EXHIBITION
1st to 26th May 2012
VAN Shrewsbury Market Hall Gallery
Shrewsbury Market Hall has recently won the best Parish Council Market Award from the National Association of British Market Authorities (NABMA). Shrewsbury folk should be proud of their nationally recognised outstanding market.
Taking inspiration from the traders who work hard to serve the people of Shrewsbury, local artist Ian Collett has produced 30 individual portraits of the Market Traders. Faces that regular market goers will be familiar with. Some have only been in business a few months, others over forty years!
There is a vibrancy, good humour, friendliness and many good bargains to be had, that is the best of a traditional British Market.
If you are inspired by the Market Trader?s Portraits you might care to have a go yourself at the:Free Portrait Painting Workshops:
The Market Hall Treaders Portrait Exhibition was commissioned by the Visual Art Network .

This is the first exhibition of Shropshire born artist Diane who grew up on a farm near Cardington.
"I have always drawn inspiration from the beautiful Shropshire countryside. I count myself lucky to have easy access to the endless variety of shapes and colours to be found in the local landscape through the changing seasons and weathers, be it a springtime walk through Helmeth Wood in Church Stretton (the Bluebells, paintings), a mid-summer scramble up the sides of Carding Mill Valley (Twisted Trees) or an October drive from Broome to Acton Burnell (Autumn Lawley)""I have always drawn inspiration from the beautiful Shropshire countryside.

My heartfelt thanks go to Bobby Britnell and the 'Girls' at Moor Art 2 for their artistic advice and guidance. Without their encouragement and support, this exhibition would have remained a pipe dream."
