On Wednesday next week (24 March between 4.30 and 6.30 pm) there is a low key launch event at St George’s to introduce Helen to some of the people who have supported the project; trustees, funders and councillors and some of the Friends Group who look after the building itself. After that we are officially embarked on this year’s residency.
If anyone is in our neck of the woods at tea-time next Wednesday do pop in for a cuppa or a glass of wine and meet Helen.

We are pleased to announce that Helen Scalway has been selected as our artist in residence for 2010. She will be based at the studio at St George’s Church in Esher working on her project until the autumn. More information about her work can be found on: http://www.vam.ac.uk/vastatic/microsites/1750_scalway/blog/
We are really please to welcome her and think her interest in making connections and finding links to things through drawing will be a very good thing for St George’s Arts which is itself going through a period of making connections and adjusting to change. We have worked with Helen to alter the conditions of the residency for the better, redressing the balance a little more in favour of the artist and we are looking forward to what the residency brings.
