SUMMARY:Going To The Match On Tour
DESCRIPTION:Going to the Match\, painted in 1953\, is LS Lowry’s best-known and most popular picture. Although he painted football-themed scenes before and after this date it is Going to the Match which has become iconic – an enduring representation of what match day means to fans. \nThe 1953 work shows fans arriving for a Bolton Wanderers game at their former home\, Burnden Park. The painting’s iconic status has been recognised and loved by visitors of all ages: especially those who love football and those who celebrate this quintessentially Northern experience. \nThis hugely important and much-loved work of art had been on public display at The Lowry\, Salford since it opened in 2000\, courtesy of a loan by the then owners the Professional Footballers Association (PFA). Following a high-profile campaign\, Going to the Match was purchased by The Lowry in Salford for The Lowry Collection at the Modern British & Irish Art Sale at Christie’s in London in October 2022\, thanks to the generous support of The Law Family Charitable Foundation. The painting returned to public display at The Lowry in November 2022 as part of Salford’s Lowry Collection and The Lowry is now working with galleries and venues across the North West to ensure that the piece can be enjoyed by the widest possible audience across the region. Supported by a £95\,000 grant from Arts Council England through its National Lottery Project Grants programme and additional support from the Sir Bobby Charlton Foundation\, the tour will mean this iconic painting can be enjoyed by the widest possible audience across the region. \nThe painting is being displayed at the Williamson alongside other works by Lowry and a selection of pictures from the Williamson’s collection which place Lowry in the wider context of painting in Northern England in the mid 20th Century. \n#LowryGTTM \nImage Credit: LS Lowry\, Going to the Match\, 1953\n© The Estate of L.S.

SUMMARY:North Wales Society of Fine Art
DESCRIPTION:The North Wales Society of Fine Art was established in 1990 by founder president Margaret Stevens. Its purpose was to encourage the promotion of botanical artwork across North Wales and into the North West of England. The Society has since thrived and evolved into a more eclectic mix of artists\, who display a wide range of inspiration and ideas through diverse styles and media. \nArtists invited to join the Society demonstrate both technical excellence and individual creativity in fine art. The subject matter varies from botanical\, landscape\, portraiture\, still-life and wildlife. Media used include oil\, acrylic\, and watercolour paints\, ink\, pencil and pastels\, textile artwork and sculpture. \nThis exhibition will showcase recent work by members of the society. \nMeet The Artists: On Saturday 29th June the Society will be holding a Meet & Greet in the gallery. Drop in 1-3pm to meet the artists and learn more about their work. \n \nTake the work home! Many of the works included in the Williamson Open 2024 – including those by the guest judges – are for sale.
