Exhibitions

The Wonderful Women of Broxtowe (13 November - 20 December)

Lesley Grand-Scrutton and Anne Glew are amateur photographers living and working within the Borough of Broxtowe.

Their exhibition, 'The Wonderful Women of Broxtowe' shines a spotlight onto the invaluable contribution that women make within the local community and beyond.

Women of Broxtowe are shown in the diverse fields they operate in, including science and technology, engineering, retail, transport, the arts, politics, education, social care, sport, business and the voluntary sector.

As well as producing a portrait depicting each woman in an environment specific to them, we asked everyone in the project to supply the following: my32words - three words which they would use to describe themselves, a short autobiography, an inspirational statement to be passed on to others. 

Exhibit in our space

We host an exciting programme of ever changing exhibitions in our Gallery Space.  We love to promote our local community so if your group has an exhibition that you think would work well in our Gallery Space please contact us.
