"Art S64" is the current exhibition at the 'Clock Tower Gallery, situated within the grounds of the Northern General Hospital. and running from the 26th April to 19th May 2010.
The exhibition covering both floors of the gallery is a joint effort by a number of artists having a common link with Swinton Lock Activity Centre, based as its name implies at Swinton in Rotherham. www.swintonlock.org.uk
Taking a wide range of styles, and mediums covering a wide spectrum of art genre's it would be remiss to detail any specific work on display, suffice to say that the very nature of the exhibitions diversity caters for a wide range of public taste in art.
The exhibition itself has been well curated and themed with the work affording a relaxing atmosphere in which to browse, for a hospital this is has to be a bonus which needs to be exploited both for the benefit of the exhibitors and the gallery (Hospital board take note)
curators can do the impossible but miracles need help.
Overall a well balenced exhibition worth visiting.

Previewing the Happy Dabblers
Saturday the 24th April saw the Coterie Gallery playing host to members of the Original Monteney Art Group at a private viewing to the start to their exhibition which runs from the 23rd April to the 13th May.
The day was fine and warm with wall to wall sunshine giving an added bonus to the event not that this group needed it as it was an ideal opportunity for a social gathering, and to renew acquaintances not seen for some time as well as making new friends.
For those not in the know the Monteney At Group is a long established group who were originally based on the old Monteney School site, now long gone, hence their commitment to their roots by emphasizing themselves as the 'Original Monteny Art Group'.
Eventually they ended up at their present location situated at the Scout & Guide building on Salt Box Lane, Grenoside where they meet every Wednesday morning between 10.00-12.00pm, however somethings do not change and one of them is their mentor and tutor in the form of Artist Richard Clark who's commitment and skill has produced from the members some fine artwork and inspiration to higher things over the years.
All to often the work of local groups are sometimes hidden as is their work so it is pleasing that they can be afforded the same opportunity as professional artists with a full three week professional exhibition.
Some of the artwork is for sale at ridiculously low prices so this is a good opportunity to buy, however they will be pleased just for people to attend, see their work and leave comments.
Further information about the group or the exhibition may be obtained from the Gallery

Car Boot on the Campus
The start of the famous Campus car boots started its season on Sunday the 11th April to a dull but dry day, however this did not prevent the early birds from setting up well before time nor did it stop the bargain hunters turning out to catch the pick of the offerings from some 35 car boots and stalls in attendance.
Not a bad turn out for the start of the season which will no doubt build up as the monthly events progress.
By 9.30 the sun had broken through adding a pleasant feel to the event which obviously relayed itself to the public judging by the increase in the number of people turning up.
Out on the patio between the sports hall and the cafe', refreshments were taken at the outside tables giving a picnic atmosphere which come summer will be almost carnival.
Judging from the number of bulging bags many people found a bargain which no doubt will be repeated at the next events and those following so it looks like a lot more work on the day for the indomitable Jackie Hall (but she can do it)
The Campus can cater for many more stalls and cars so pass it on.
The next boots will be on the first Sunday of each month from 9am-1pm set up 8am
Cars £6.00. Car & Trailer £8.00
For bookings contact reception 0114 284 4444 or, you can turn up on the day but you take your chance on a space.
