ART AT BELGRAVIA-and people who make it happen

After a few successful exhibitions at Eaton Terrace Gallery it is a time to start preparing ourselves for “Catch2009″. We are taking the project to an exciting Covent Garden location where everything around is about arts and craft: galleries, performing artists, an amazing market with lots of original features and of course delicious ice creams, coffee shops and restaurants. Seems like Covent Garden is never asleep! From the 2 June for a period of one week we are going to represent a little part of this historic London destination, very popular with tourists and Londoners alike. Some how it does feel sad to leave friendly Eaton Terrace Gallery for now… I hear from many of our exhibitors that (like myself) they have found the gallery’s atmosphere “homely and warm”, which is definitely expressing the personality of the gallery owners Gordon and Trish Stevenson. They might not necessarily describe themselves as “art specialists” but they are art lovers which for we artists means so much more than an art critic or dealer…
Well.. those are my reflections on stylish yet welcoming, good “old” Eaton Terrace. It would be nice if any one who exhibited there told us how they felt too. Editorials and other info about exhibitions at Eaton Terrace could be find in Art in London magazine:

I enjoyed the Eaton Terrace exhibitions very much; such a wonderful location and I met so many kind and interesting people. Gordon and Trish were very pleasant and great hosts – regards to them – and they have a true gem of a gallery. The layout is really interesting and a little enigmatic with loads of period features and character. Somehow it has a strong identity but always seems to compliment without being overbearing.

Eaton Terrace Gallery is the first time I have exhibited in London at Spirit of Romance 2009 thanks to the kindness of Magdalena –
I met Gordon when I delivered my works and found him to be a very nice man.
I found the gallery so homely and full of genuine warmth thanks to all the other artists and people I met.
I think I will always have fond memories of this beautiful gem in Belgravia.
