Spring into Art

What better time to start planning your new interior design project or home make-over now that spring is in the air – The difference a new wall colour can make to a room with the addition of a beautiful piece of modern art is truly amazing. Come and look for inspiration at Coastal Gallery and view the vibrant new tryptich by Biddy Hodgkinson or perhaps one of Martyn Brewsters colourful series of silk screen monoprints ? We can always bring a selection of artwork to your home so you can be sure of that perfect choice.

Children in Need

Local sculptor Michael Turner initiated a really successful fundraising event for BBC Children In Need with Milford -on- Sea Jewellery designer Jo Vane through Coastal Gallery last week. Mike designed a fabulous stainless steel dragon fly and Jo designed a stunning silver and gold pendant. Launching the campaign on Facebook, we were all delighted with such a magnificent response and by 3.30pm on saturday a total of £1000 had been raised ! Thank you to everyone who contributed to the success of this – particularly Mike who came up with the idea !!
