'Art at al PANINO' - 17 June to 17 July

A specially commissioned photomontage of Macclesfield by Jack Lloyd, for the 'Art at al PANINO' exhibition.

As part of the Barnaby Festival, we've teamed up with al PANINO cafe bar on Chestergate to present a new exhibition of work by over 20 white gallery artists, including Amanda Wigglesworth, Jenny Hirst, Di Metcalfe, Carlo Eves and Jane Osmond, who, although best known for her beautiful etchings, is presenting oil paintings for the first time.

Art at al PANINO is a new collaboration: for a while now i've been looking for new and interesting spaces to hang my artists' work. When Julia, who owns the cafe, came into the gallery one day last year we got talking. Only days before I'd been in the cafe, coveting its wall space. Don't you just love serendipity. So now we're putting on an exhibition together - a great opportunity to showcase more work to more people, and enjoy great coffee into the bargain.

Art at al PANINO runs from 17 June to 17 July.

Please come along over the Festival weekend especially, and enjoy seeing Macclesfield as you've never seen it before. If you go on the festival website there's an art quiz for the kids too, so you can enjoy walking around all the different exhibitions and venues, whilst the children are kept busy hunting for clues.

Don't miss out - please get involved, buy tickets for some of the fabulous events, and support this not-for-profit festival which deserves every success.

al PANINO cafe bar is open 7 days a week, 8am-6pm Monday to Saturday & 10am-4.30pm on Sundays.
