Art with a Heart: LP Photography Exhibited by Rotary

The Rotary Art and Craft Fair, now in its 14th year, is a spectacular showcase of talented local makers and artists presented in Oakview by the Rotary Group of Reading and Maiden Erlegh. This year we were keen to contribute our own incredible creativity from the Leighton Park community. Head of Art, Mark Wood invited staff and students to capture the theme of ‘Change’ through photography saying, “We are after all changemakers, and Autumn is very much with us!”

The photographic submissions have been mounted in the gallery space in the entrance to the exhibition and will remain for the start of the next half term. Mark reflected on the colour and interest added by the show to the Oakview foyer: “Each year we grow and adapt to change. The rapid shift in technology is given roots by our own need to pause and tune in to nature. The change we see across society and the globe provides food for thought and inspiration. Time is something we can’t change, but our observations captured here hopefully embrace some of those brief moments when we stop and reflect.”

The exhibition will be open to the public as an important fundraising event over this weekend from Friday 25th to Sunday 27th October. All proceeds from the event go to ‘Feeding Communities’ a local charity run by our catering company, Thomas Franks. Feeding Communities supports families in need, those struggling from poverty and those with food insecurity in the local community.

Entrance to the Art and Craft Fair is free but donations are encouraged at https://www.justgiving.com/readingmaidenerlegh
