Artists of the Cut
December 7-12
A celebration of art being made on or about the British Waterways. Featuring paintings, prints and photography. Seven of the artists in the show are members of the Guild of Waterway Artists.
"We believe that to represent aspects of the waterways faithfully in art it is necessary to know and understand what we are depicting. We like our members to be interested and knowledgeable about the skills and history of the waterways" Guild Website
Why Artists of the Cut? Boaters often refer to the canal as a 'cut'. This is because the navvies (workmen) had to cut the canal instead of it being a natural waterway like a river.
