Thanks to the kind sponsorship of Wade & Davies Solicitors the old Flitch Art Gallery at 28 High Street will be opening its doors again for a special exhibition and the launch of the "Alternative Yellow Book'.

The exhibition brings together artworks and photographs that celebrate the events that took place as part of artist Jevan Watkins Jones’ residency in Dunmow from October 2015 to February 2016.

Over these five months Jevan met with many older residents in Dunmow and its neighbouring villages. He also ran a series of workshops in the Library; at Redbond Lodge  Care Home;  the Dunmow Gardening Club for people living with dementia’  and St. Mary’s Church & Riverbank.  The project explored personal stories and our memories of favourite plants and gardens.  Jevan has drawn together these stories and, working with Firebrand Design,  produced the “Alternative Yellow Book”.  The first pages will be available to see and orders can be made from 23 April.

“Alternative Yellow Book” takes its inspiration from The National Garden Garden Scheme’s synonymous “Yellow Book”.  A special film created with Aura Films will also be on show. 

The project has been  been supported by St. Mary’s Riverbank and grants from Essex County Council and the Arts Council of England.
