EVENTS TO LOOK FORWARD TO:-
Gallery 495 Latest Exhibition – Oct 24
‘The Girl, the Ghost and the Shadow’ – Holly Cowie
Gallery 495 is excited to announce our next artist: Holly Cowie.
As the nights draw in, Holly’s illustrations will light up the gallery with the story of ‘The Girl and the Ghost.’
Holly is an illustrator and writer.
‘The Girl, the Ghost and the Shadow’ @gallery495cellardyke. Is an original folktale that will unfold over the course of October, with new images and words each week. The text of the story will appear page by page in the Wee Library beside the gallery as the images are revealed.
The installation is designed to be viewed from outside the gallery, after dark, when it will be illuminated from the inside. There is currently a delay with lighting so these photos are taken from inside while installing the exhibition. You can enjoy the way the images overlay the world outside.
The exhibition will run to the end of the year.
The accompanying folktale-themed creative writing workshop run by the artist is at:
The Haven, Cellardyke on 2 November at 2.30pm, when the final scene will be revealed.

12 Nov 2023 – We were very proud of our young folk at the Remembrance events.
A few weeks ago Charoltte our 2023 Sea Queen had worked with her attendants to decorate some Poppy Stones.
Yesterday at Cellardyke Church they took their painted stones into Cellardyke Church and held the 2 minutes silence in an event specifically for them. This was followed by an amazing recounting of the bomb that landed and exploded in Rodger Street in 1941 by Bill Motion who was 10 at the time.
Today they attended, St Ayle, Cellardyke Church service when the Minister’s sermon was aptly based round memorial stones. They then joined the procession to Kilrenny and Cellardyke War Memorial and placed their stones after the wreaths were laid.
Charlotte Ambrose 2023 Sea Queen is seen with her attendants and Jenny Hodge, Sea Queen Elect at the Memorial. This was one of Charlotte’s community events.
