Commercial events can get free coverage but during busy times of the year there is often no available space.

1st to 3rd November
Treading Softly
Putney Arts Theatre
An exhibition of paintings and prints inspired by the natural world and the mystery beyond by Linda Murgatroyd. Linda ’s first solo exhibition draws on the words of poets, mystics, the natural world and her Quaker approach to life. Using oil, watercolour, print, and other media, she shows a mixture of still- lives, landscapes and semi-abstract compositions, to produce an original and attractive show.
‘The Putney Arts Theatre Gallery is a lovely quiet space, just off the High Street;’, says Linda. ‘I hope people will take a time to come in and enjoy the colours and images, and to reflect further on the wonder of the natural world and on our place in it’.
