Roof Work Starts in November at TAAG

/

Roof work starts in November at TAAG. Although the building is festooned with scaffolding, and is likely to be so for several months, we are definitely Open for Business.

During the next few months we have some terrific exhibitions and workshops for you, so don't be put off by the ironwork. Come in and check out what we have to offer, starting with the excellent Print-Practice-Production printmaking show, which is happening up to Nov 12th.

Don Pearson, Friend and Local Artist

Don Pearson passed away peacefully yesterday. He was part of TAAG for many years and an amazing supporter in lots of other ways. Don was a great cook, an experimental printmaker, wonderful to chat with, loved good coffee, and made us all laugh.

He will be sorely missed by everyone at the Wooden Spoon Press, at TAAG, and amongst the Teignmouth artist community.

Don is pictured above, chatting with Cheryl Watson.

Life at the Tidal Margin Exhibition at TAAG: 9-10 September

Mike Puleston wrote on Facebook about this excellent marine exhibition at TAAG:

“The Shores of South Devon Marine Life Association exhibited over the weekend of 9/10th September around 40 photographs, original artwork, seaweed pressings and a photographic "Sea Squirt" installation at TAAG gallery Teignmouth.

The "LIFE AT THE TIDAL MARGIN" event which was curated by Toby Sherwin, Anne Gwynn and Mike Puleston was part of the Weekend Teign Maritime & Shanty Festival which judging by the sheer numbers of people in Teignmouth was a great success in the hot weather.

Mike said "we had good numbers of visitors to TAAG both days, enjoying the art show which was a great mix of art styles and media from all the artists exhibiting.

SOSD had many interesting questions asked about the various species featured in our display and many people were amazed that the marine animals and Seaweeds featured were very local.

It was a great experience for Anne, Toby and myself to set up our work in such an excellent gallery, with opportunities to meet the other artists and many thanks to the Teign Maritime& Shanty Festival organisers for inviting SOSD and Douglas Anderson from TAAG for his excellent support and advice".

Although the SOSD exhibition has ended, the main exhibition continues and is a great opportunity to support local artists and the Teignmouth artistic community.

Mike also gave a talk at the Heritage Centre on the Sunday afternoon titled The Intertidal Marine Life of the Teign Estuary.
