Busy programme

October sees the changing of the seasons along with new exhibitions at Colonnade House in Worthing as it celebrates its tenth birthday with an alumni exhibition and a series of creative events and workshops.

Spokeswoman Paula Tollett said: “See new works by the artists of the Drawing Room. Sarah Sepe presents her work in progress exhibition. We see exhibitions by returning artists Sally Pennington and Carolyn McConnell. It’s Jenny Carroll’s and Natalie Reilly’s first solo exhibitions, and studio members John Bond and Sarah Edmonds bring colour and joy to Gallery Two.”

Starting the month is 10 Years of Colonnade House (September 28-October 4): “The celebrations continue for our 10th birthday with the opportunity to see our alumni exhibition and take part in a series of creative workshops and events.”
