The Henkeeper’s Almanac launched at Gracefield Arts
Centre, Dumfries
Poet Jean
Atkin and artist Pamela Grace have been working together to create ‘The
Henkeeper’s Almanac’, a project to record a decade of henkeeping on a
Dumfriesshire smallholding. ‘The
Henkeeper’s Almanac’ is exhibited at Gracefield Arts Centre Café from Tuesday 4
June to Saturday 13 July.
The
exhibition consists of Pamela Grace’s beautiful paintings and prints of a flock
of hens on Jean’s smallholding, and Jean Atkin’s poetry, published as an
artists’ book. The book contains a poem and a painting for each month of
the year.
Jean Atkin
and Pamela Grace invite you to a launch party for ‘The Henkeeper’s Almanac’ on
Tuesday 4 June at 7pm at Gracefield Arts Centre, Edinburgh Road, Dumfries DG1
1JQ. There will be an artist’s talk, poetry reading, friendly conversation and
a glass of wine. Everyone welcome!
