Hello_Towner

For the next two weeks, our artists in residence will be filling #TownerSummerSchool with colour - they are off to a flying start!

This week we are working with James William Murray, who will be exploring construction, abstraction and writing with us

So fab to see the I am Who I Am #LGBTQ youth group marching at @PrideEastbourne with the banner they made for #DrawMeIn, our children and young people's exhibition earlier this year 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈

We've got a busy weekend ahead of us, so on Sunday at 1230, join us @townergallery for a relaxed storytime for under fives and their grown ups in TEN.

We are actively queering our collection, and @jackshoulder is working with our curators on that, and leads #LGBTQ tours of the gallery. #MusPride 👍🏛️🏳️‍🌈

Join us today at 11.00 for storytime in the gallery. We will be in TEN on the first floor reading a book that links to one of the works on display. #Eastbourne #UnderFives #Dropin #Free

On Sunday, we will be having a #Storytime for under fives at 1100 in our TEN exhibition. It's free, just drop in.

Jenny likes to use natural materials in her work, sticks, twigs, branches, shells - what's the most unusual thing you've ever drawn with?

We are lucky to have @JennyStaff1 as our #ArtistInResidence today in our #Artbox drawing studio. Jenny will be here to help visitors develop their drawing, to try new things and to have fun.

We had a lovely time with Oakwood Nursery this morning who came to see their Oakwood Fox in #DrawMeIn. The Towner team love his fluffy tail, and we read Fox In Socks.

Some of the wonderful drawings made by visitors to @TownerGallery so far this Easter- we have transformed our workshop space into a free open drawing studio for everyone to celebrate #DrawMeIn our children and young people's exhibition.

What a joy to welcome a group from @OutwardHousing to the gallery today. We talked about drawing and now the group are enjoying our open drawing studio.

Our learners have been drawing all weekend in our workshop space - we have turned it into a free drop in drawing studio over the Easter Holidays to help celebrate #DrawMeIn

Oh wow! #DrawMeIn is in Viva Brighton magazine, what a lovely surprise find over a Sunday coffee.

Today we are supporting #Primary #Teachers with CPD on their INSET day. They have spent part of the day with an #artist and have spent time at the gallery admiring the work in #DrawMeIn

We are excited to open #DrawMeIn our Children and Young People's exhibition. We have worked with 50 schools and community groups to think about #Drawing in response to works by 12 women artists in @TownerGallery collection.

Today is our 10th anniversary in our current location - and we are in the party mood! We've also got a very special event happening this afternoon....

One for the #writers, join us on #WorldPoetryDay tomorrow for a writing workshop and reading with poet @artistsmakers. Boom your place here: townereastbourne.org.uk/even…

"One of my kids is really arty, and my other is really into science. What you've got on is brilliant because they are both having fun!" Thank you for the feedback! There's so much overlap between science and art.
