🎨 A Cover with a Story Behind It - Meet Artist Bec 🎨 A Cover with a Story Behind It - Meet Artist Becca Clegg, Painter and Printmaker

Meet @beccacleggprintmaker, the Surrey-based artist behind the beautiful cover of our new What’s On: October 2026 - March 2027 programme, launching online on 3 August.

✨ The artwork we selected, Past the Dunes, immediately caught our attention. Inspired by the natural world, Becca’s vibrant print is full of colour, texture and a wonderful sense of discovery - qualities that perfectly reflect the creativity and curiosity we hope to inspire through our courses and events.

For us, our programme cover is about more than creating something eye-catching. It’s a chance to celebrate local artists, share their stories and bring creativity into our community. 

We’re so excited to share Becca’s work with you!

Want to know the story behind the artwork?

Behind the Scenes at The GI 🔧 Alongside showcasin Behind the Scenes at The GI 🔧

Alongside showcasing our fantastic range of events, we’re celebrating the people who are at the heart of The GI- including our valued team members, visitors and audience, like you, who help make our community so special.

Every charity needs someone who is handy with a screwdriver… and we’re lucky to have Antonio!

Antonio is our go-to person for measuring things, fixing some things, and helping everything run smoothly behind the scenes. 

We also have to mention his brilliant sense of humour… and his passion for football! (Although he still can’t quite understand how anyone isn’t a football fan! ⚽)

Over the coming months, we’ll be sharing more stories about the wonderful people who bring The GI to life.

A huge thank you to Antonio for being such an important part of The GI team-  we really appreciate everything you do. 🙌
