To
coincide with a visit from the
Duke of Devonshire, The
Friends of Dukes Meadows have
secured permission from Hounslow
Council to mount a one day exhibition
in the Sports Pavilion building,
on the site of the Chiswick
farmers market.
The
Sports Pavilion is a unique
late Victorian building, originally
the market store and then subsequently
a park keepers flat and changing
rooms.
As
a result of the cutbacks in
the late 1970s Dukes Meadows
lost its park keeper and the
building and area have fallen
into decline.
Peter
Blake has kindly agreed
to open the exhibition for us.
We are lucky to have a talented
and diverse group of local artists
to showcase this inaugural exhibition.
The building itself has enormous
potential to become a centre
for artists and the local community.
