Pearl Gatehouse should be opening her exhibition today but is displaying some of her work in the gallery window this week. You will be able to see the full exhibition from 28 April to 4 May so this is just a taster! http://ow.ly/2ZmV50E09F0  #lockdownart #shaftesbury #springtimepic.twitter.com/aWUUh6tXW1

Make sure you have a look at the gallery window display before the end of Tuesday.

Criss-Cross: A Kind of Music - Tony Martin drawings and etchings, 'made with the spirit of intention and invention, with a nod to the influence of classical music.' #tony.martin.art #martincody1981 http://ow.ly/2yE750DLXoE  #geometry #abstract #minimal #musicalform #printmakingpic.twitter.com/oWF2YZv37R

Tony Martin's drawings seem to be annotated tangles of lines. Further investigation reveals that they are based on choreography. Criss-Cross:A Kind of Music not now but in the future. #tony.martin.art #martincody1981 http://ow.ly/nQIP50DHGdD  #experimentaldrawing #contemporaryartpic.twitter.com/EDjr8lguwz

Criss-Cross:A Kind of Music should begin today but the gallery is still closed. Drawings and printmaking from Tony Martin and Martin Cody. Hoping it will be rescheduled. #martincody1981 #tony.martin.art http://ow.ly/rj0F50DHEVj  #contemporary #minimalism #mapping #geometrypic.twitter.com/ULswrvgfIM

The annual Open Snowdrop Exhibition cannot take place this year but gallery team member @karrenburkettartist has organised and mounted a window display of past and new snowdrop art. Take a look on your daily walk. #shaftesburysnowdrops #artinlockdown @SnowdropWalks #artforallpic.twitter.com/5jSi391YzC

Sadly, our popular community Snowdrops Exhibition has been cancelled due to the COVID restrictions of Lockdown 3. Do keep your snowdrop art for next year's show! Meanwhile, the real snowdrops are starting to show their faces. #shaftesburysnowdrops #dorset http://ow.ly/98F450D2AvB pic.twitter.com/d5CSQs47BF

Unfortunately we are once again unable to open the gallery as planned for the first exhibition of 2021. This should have been a showcase of work from all the exhibitors who will be showing their art during the coming year. @shaftesburytown @alfredshaftesbury #artinlockdown3pic.twitter.com/wNsv1Yp07C
