Baxenden: Animals in Art exhibition at Haworth Art Gallery

The latest exhibition at the Haworth Art Gallery, Accrington, which opens on 27th July ‘Animals in Art’ will feature on radio 2BR 99.8FM and The Bee107FM every day between Monday 22nd July to Saturday 27th July – complete with sound effects!

The radio advertising campaign is part of the Pennine Lancashire Museum group marketing plan which the Haworth Art Gallery is a member. The advertisement includes great sound effects of elephants, lions and parrots and invites visitors to come along to the Haworth and ‘Get face to face with some of the biggest and most dangerous beasts in the world!’

Gallery Co-ordinator, Yvonne Robins, states, ‘We are all going ‘Animal Crackers’ here at the Haworth! We would like to invite everyone to come along and join our very own ‘Rumble in the Jungle’ and view the stunning work created by the internationally renowned members of the Association of Animal Artists. The artwork that is on show in ‘Animals in Art’ is of an exceptionally high standard, two members of which have won prestigious prizes. Julie Cross has won the BBC Wildlife Artist of the Year 2013 (world mammals category), a title she also won last year and also on show is work by Heather Irvine, the 2013 winner of the prestigious Christopher Parsons Award for Artistic Excellence from The Wildlife Art Society International.
Not only is the Haworth’s exhibition being featured on the radio but the launch of the exhibition on Saturday 27th July will be filmed by ‘Splash of Paint’ productions for Sky and Free Sat. television as well as on-line viewing! Yvonne states ‘It is going to be a fabulous family fun day on Saturday 27th July. As well as the amazing exhibition we shall also be having family mask-making workshops with Susan Watson and tea, coffee and cake will be available in the tea room – everyone is welcome to join us’.
