St Mary's Calne
On Wednesday 1st November, we hosted a special 150th Anniversary Reception at Gallery Different, London. The evening was for guests living in and around London and showcased Celebrate Connect - A Celebration of the Art of St Mary's Calne, an art exhibition specially created to mark 150th Anniversary of St Mary's.
Current & past parents, alumnae, former staff, and governors enjoyed a lovely evening looking at all the wonderful art from our very talented current and former pupils, staff, and members of our school community. The Gallery was filled with many different pieces including oils, pastels, sketches, mixed media, and textiles. Some of these pieces are for sale and have been gifted as part of a Silent Auction, please click here for more information as well as to see the full catalogue of work.
Mrs Diana Harrison, Acting Head, welcomed guests and commented on the wonderful creative environment and the importance of art at St Mary’s. Mrs Cate Bell, Alumna, Governor and Chair of the CFT updated guests on how enjoyable all 150th Anniversary events this year had been, and encouraged guests to consider joining the 150 Society as a way to further support St Mary’s and its future pupils.
As with all our 150th Anniversary events, the evening was filled with laughter and chat, as so many of our vibrant community caught up with each other and celebrated their connection with St Mary’s. 2023 has truly been a wonderful opportunity to enjoy so many diverse and interesting occasions and a magnificent tribute to St Mary’s Calne!
