2021-2026 Highlights

Harry Pye Presents - 

Sat 18th Apr - Tues 21st Apr 2026

​​

​William Hogarth owned a pug that he named Trump. Hogarth included Trump the pug in several of his paintings including his famous 1745 self portrait which is often on display at Tate Britain. 25 years ago Sir Peter Blake wanted to help raise funds for the Hogarth Trust so he made prints of  a drawing that he had made of Trump. New in 2026, curator Harry Pye invited artists he admired to produce a pug portrait of their own!

Abbie Ziegler Presents -

Sat 2nd May - Sat 9th May 2026

​

Abbie is an artist living in Ramsgate who a paints  and makes textile art. She loves playing with words and painting found objects, such as bed pans, or flattened tin cans! 

In 2022, Abbie discovered she had breast cancer. This was treated, however, it returned in 2025 and there’s no recovering this time. Hence the title of the exhibition- this isn’t her first rodeo, but it will be her last.

When Abbie had her first bout with cancer, the images that came to mind were jugs (breasts!) and eyes (all eyes on me). Abbie has maintained her excellent surreal sense of humour, whimsey & fun which can be seen throughout her bright, playful joyous work. ​
