SUMMARY:Guildford Arts Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:The Guildford Institute and Guildford arts are pleased to present the work of artists Marilyn Bailey and Tracey Graham. Together their art creates a powerful theme of beauty and value. \nMarilyn Bailey  \nMarilyn’s work is grounded in close observation from life\, and she uses her classical realist painting techniques and skills to give a full sense of form\, volume and space. She loves how light can reveal forms\, and how ordinary objects can be given a quiet\, everlasting quality and presence. Marilyn was trained in Classical Realism oil painting at the Angel Academy in Florence\, which instructs in the required concepts and the practical application of them. \nEmail: marilynbailey333@gmail.com \nMarilyn Bailey – Portrait of Clara\nTracey Graham – Known as Rubbish Artist \nTracey’s work explores the potential of reclaimed materials and found objects\, using humour and creativity to inspire sustainable thinking. \nInvasive Species Series \nInspired by her love of coral reefs and diving in the Caribbean. The work is wry look at single-use plastics which take decades to breakdown into microplastics affecting wildlife and people every step of the way. \nEach critter has a taxonomy\, a made up ‘Latin’ name and a lifespan reflecting the number of years it takes to breakdown. They are made from the types of plastics that invade our waterways\, some beach-combed\, some bin-combed. The intention is to provoke thought about consumer choices and elevate plastic to something more valuable than the throw-away single-use culture we currently inhabit. \nEmail:rubbishartist@gmail.com \nInstagram: rubbish_artistry \nCommon Cutlery Crab\nMeet the Artists – 23rd April 2026 @ The Guildford Institute – 7pm.  \nCome along to our Meet the Artist evening with Marilyn Bailey and Tracey Graham. \nMarilyn and Tracey will give a short talk at 7pm. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Guildford Arts Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Guildford Institute and Guildford Arts are pleased to present their next exhibition from talented artists: \nANGELA ORTEGA PESTANA – PAINTER \n\nShe started painting in 2011 at the Adult Centre in Guildford on a watercolour course and after living for a few years in the UK\, she has travelled around the country visiting beautiful landscapes such as Pembrokeshire\, South Wales\, Loch Lomond in Scotland\, Lake District in Cumbria\, the Peak District and South Dales in Yorkshire as well the South Downs in South East England inspired by the nature and greenery which characterise these places.  She has also travelled extensively in Europe and her paintings represent what she has seen in these places with an emphasis on wildlife\, as a whole. \n  \nMARTIN SOUTHWOOD – PAINTER \n(see main image) \nMartin began painting eleven years ago to fulfil a promise to his younger self.  He paints mostly representational pieces in acrylics and coloured pencil. \nHe writes ‘I paint what I have strong feelings for\, and try to make that apparent in my work.  If people look at my paintings and feel something\, then\, I have succeeded.  For me\, painting is both the practice of deep observation and a meditation on the terrible damage we inflict on the world. \nPaint and Ashes – art gallery\, nature\, imagination

SUMMARY:Thomas Hardy 1840–1928 - T378b New Date
DESCRIPTION:This talk was postponed from 4th February.\nHardy’s lifespan makes him a Victorian\, an Edwardian and even a World War I writer. An incredible span of remarkable creativity and versatility in which he addressed everything from isolated rural Wessex to the sinking of the Titanic. He is regarded as not only one of the most important English novelists but also a poet of major stature. \nHistorians Sue and Alfred will introduce the life of this complex\, sometimes difficult man\, illustrated by a selection of his writings. \n\nWe’re delighted to offer our afternoon talks on a Pay What You Can basis. We believe everyone should have access to educational and cultural opportunities\, and that no one should be excluded because of their financial circumstances. Our talks are £7 for all – if anyone feels they need to pay less than this\, please call the team or visit us in person.

SUMMARY:Crossbows and Sugar: The Life & Letters of a Medieval Heiress - T387
DESCRIPTION:What do crossbows\, legal battles\, and shopping lists have in common? They all feature in the letters of Margaret Paston\, a 15th-century heiress who defied stereotypes of medieval women. \nJoin Professor Diane Watt from the University of Surrey to uncover how Margaret managed estates\, wielded influence during the Wars of the Roses\, and left a legacy that reshapes our understanding of women’s power and voice in history. \nDiane is the author of the most recent biography of Paston and will follow her talk with a book-signing. \nDelivered in partnership with the University of Surrey/SAHN (Surrey Arts and Humanities Network). \nWe’re delighted to offer our afternoon talks on a Pay What You Can basis. We believe everyone should have access to educational and cultural opportunities\, and that no one should be excluded because of their financial circumstances. Our talks are £7 for all – if anyone feels they need to pay less than this\, please call the team or visit us in person.
