"It was perfect - the warmest welcome ever…"
Drumcroon is currently celebrating its 30th anniversary year. This exhibition by Patrick Hughes and Paul Critchley is one of the highlights in the exhibition programme. Both artists are renowned across the world for their playful and intriguing approaches to perspective. It is a fantastic show with artworks which dazzle and amaze the viewer.
The preview saw the gallery filled to the rafters with Wigan's art lovers of all ages and they gave the two artists a warm Wigan welcome which Patrick described as the 'warmest welcome ever'. Rod Taylor, the former Wigan art advisor whose vision enabled Wigan to establish its only art gallery in 1980, formally opened the event by reflecting on the important work that the gallery pioneered and its impact on gallery education and art education all over the country. His personal anecdotes communicated the enormous value that first hand art experiences of art have for all ages and sectors of the community.
