Aldeburgh Cinema Gallery
The Cinema Gallery is a light, bright and inviting space. Throughout the year it is let on a weekly basis to exhibitors both local and more widely known. Paintings, photographs, sculpture, jewellery, oriental rugs, books and artefacts from overseas, all have taken their turn and they are interspersed with private parties, meetings and workshops during the Poetry Festival.
The Gallery can accommodate a maximum of 40 people, but the attractive and very sheltered walled garden behind the foyer and alongside the auditorium can also be hired for sculptures, garden furniture and party use with a proviso that an emergency exit for the auditorium is preserved.
The space measures approximately 30 x 16 feet. The impressive natural light is enhanced by a Concord spot lighting track while black Venetian blinds at the three large, latticed windows can be used as a filter if required. There are three rails at differing heights for displaying pictures. Hooks are supplied.
The Gallery is a particularly pleasant place to hold an exhibition. Apart from its general ambience, and unlike the situation of many other galleries, its exhibitors benefit from the fact that the Cinema is a working building, with friendly personnel on site most days of the week. There is also a small kitchen which can be used for light refreshments.
Dates remain available for hire during 2009 and we are now taking bookings for 2010. For full details of rental and available dates, please call Julie Latimer-Jones on 01728 604395, or pop into the Cinema one morning during the working week to have a look round and speak to Susan Harrison. You will be most welcome.
