Last chance this coming month to catch a great exhibition at the Qube featuring a range of comic book and cartoon art. “Comics Stripped” features the work of a range of artists, producing both single-panel cartoons and larger comic-book length work. There are finished as well as just-inked pages and panels on display, which means you get to see not only the final product, but some of the production stages involved. Not often this kind of exhibition comes to Oswestry, so this is a good opportunity to see some first-class comic art.
And while you’re in town catching the comic art exhibition, don’t forget to stop by for a last chance to see “The Way”.
Don’t forget, too, that Studio A1 is changing hands at the end of July, and as of August will be taken over by Bob Knowles and John Wragg and transformed into the “Screaming Chicken Gallery“. This gallery will feature visiting artists as well as showcase the work of the twelve artists who are resident in the Cambrian Studios Building. For more information on the new Screaming Chicken Gallery, stop by Bob Knowles’ studio in the Cambrian Buildings.
STUDIO A1
Studio A1 is open on Weds and Sats throughout July while “the WAY” exhibition is on.
We will be taking time out in August, but holding get-togethers (planning exhibitions, art crits etc) again regularly from September in The Willow Gallery, 56 Willow St. Oswestry. We welcome your input.

From August 2011, spearheaded by artist Bob Knowles, Studio A1 will be re-named and become the new gallery space for all the artists in the Cambrian Studios.
Inside Out get togethers will then take place in The Willow Gallery, or the Dunbabin room at The Willow Gallery or in John’s room at Cambrian (to be advised)
