Creature Feature
Council Chamber
From 8th August 2026 to January 2027
This being the year that legendary naturalist Sir David Attenborough reaches the age of 100, it seems fitting that our new exhibition celebrates the diverse beauty of living creatures. It will bring together a selection of paintings, illustrations and other artworks, all by Bushey artists, that represent a variety of animals and bird life, domestic and wild. From magisterial beasts of burden to the delicate grace of birds in flight, this will be a visual testament to our connection to living things, inviting visitors of all ages to rediscover the wonder of nature and beauty of the fauna around us.
Exhibition Organisers: Frances Agnew and Irene Simonaro
Bushey Artist - Anthony Wildig
Anne Blessley Gallery
From 17th October 2026 to April 2027
Anthony’s working life as an antique furniture restorer and cabinet maker has kept him busy. Painting has always been a part of that life and time has shown watercolour to be his preferred medium. An interest in architecture and a love for the wide variety of landscapes found throughout Britain has been his inspiration for much of his work. Visits to Cornwall and the Outer Hebrides, both remote and barren places, have had great appeal. This exhibition will show paintings going back over a period of time - some from the Bushey Museum Trust collection, others on loan - as well as his most recent work.
