Derbyshire County Council have sent the following:
Be inspired by Derbyshire Open Art Competition
The competition has been running successfully for 33 years and is open to amateur and professional artists, including children. The resulting exhibition is supported by Tarmac Lafarge and the Friends of Buxton Museum and Art Gallery. Entries for the competition must capture an essence of why Derbyshire is special. The subject could be a landscape, a view of the artist’s home town, local people, representations of local legends or still life. Entrants can use most mediums, including oils, acrylics, watercolours, drawing, print, collage, manipulated digital imagery or three-dimensional work. The closing date for the competition is Saturday 13 June 2015. Our Museums Manager Ros Westwood said:
“Every year I look forward to seeing the entries in our competition and I am always impressed by the high standard. “The exhibition has been attracting a wide audience for over 30 years and I expect the same this summer. “I am delighted that we buy the winning entry to add to our art collection at Buxton Museum and Art Gallery which makes it available to view beyond the dates of the exhibition.”
Prizes totalling £2,400 – including a £750 first prize – are on offer along with the opportunity to display work at our Museum and Art Gallery in Buxton. Prizes will be announced at the preview evening on Friday 26 June 2015. Artists can submit up to two works which must be handed in between 10am and 4.30pm on Friday 12 June or Saturday,13 June 2015, to the Museum and Art Gallery on Terrace Road in Buxton. An independent panel of judges will select the winners of 11 prizes, including one for sculpture and also for work by artists under 22 and under 17. Visitors to Buxton Museum will also have the chance to choose their favourite while the exhibition is on − the Visitors’ Choice will be announced on 4 August 2015. This year the Visitors’ Choice Prize, supported by the Friends of Buxton Museum and Art Gallery, is awarded in memory of Peter Low who was a key member of the Friends for many years. The rules and entry form can be found on our Derbyshire Open Art Competition page. For more information tel: 01629 533540 or email: buxton.museum@derbyshire.gov.uk The judges’ selection including the winning pieces will go on display at Buxton Museum and Art Gallery from Saturday 27 June until Friday 11 September 2015.

It has been well worth waiting for! The internationally acclaimed romantic novel, Parwich Heights, sees a new chapter. Alsop’s own Bridget Jones has completed Instalment 12.
With instalments from such local luminaries as I M Nobronte, Barbara Heartland and Lady AgaSaga, this gripping read is an iBook sensation. So look out for further chapters soon.

The enormously successful Dance Classes in the Memorial Hall, set up by Derbyshire Village Games, are on hold while a new instructor is sought. If you know of anyone who might be interested, please pass this information on:
A successful street dance project in Parwich in the Derbyshire Dales, launched by Derbyshire Village Games, is on the lookout for a new instructor to lead sessions.
The group has proved hugely popular with both young and old, after residents pleaded for more sport and activity in the village last year. The weekly family dance classes encourage parents and carers to get up and have a boogie with their children and relatives and attract nearly 20 participants.
Parwich resident, Katy W got in touch with Derbyshire Dales Village Games Coordinator, Katy Stubbs to ask for her help in organising fun, local dance sessions for the community. (more…)

Bad news unfortunately on both the upcoming Dance classes:
Dear all
Sadly I have just been informed that the dance classes we had previously advertised will not be going ahead as planned due to unforeseen circumstances.
I have contacted Community Sports to ask if there can be a replacement but probably won’t hear anything back until late next week.
I’ll keep you informed.
Thanks Katy

Artists to Africa
The arrivals and departures of summer migrants, such as Swallow, House Martin and Cuckoo, hint at the changing seasons and deliver a sense of connection with distant lands. In January 2014, a team of four SWLA artists accompanied the British Trust of Ornithology’s Head of International Research on a trip to Senegal. By bringing artists and scientists together we set out to raise the profile around some of the issues facing our African migrants.
Esther will be showing some of her Senegal fieldwork in the Memorial Hall on the 22nd and 23rd of November 10am – 4pm along with some local work.
