The Horsebridge A2 Open 2010

The Horsebridge is currently looking for young artists aged 16 years old and under to enter works in our art exhibition this October.

Horsebridge Prize Giveaway for Young Artists

The Horsebridge is offering some amazing prizes to under 16’s as part of its forthcoming exhibition for young artists this October.

Two works will be selected from the exhibition to be used for two Horsebridge programme front covers in the following seasons. The Horsebridge programme has a print run of 8,000 and is distributed across the local region.

Other prizes include art materials, provided and sponsored by local businesses.

Places are limited so we suggest filling out an entry form sooner rather than later. Actual work does not have to be submitted until closer to the time.

We anticipate a busy show over a two-week period from hopefully two hundred plus young artists!

The A2 Open is an opportunity for young people to exhibit their work in a professional gallery environment and be part of one of the biggest exhibitions in Whitstable this year!

The exhibition begins with an opening night where all the artists taking part and the local press are invited.

Please pass the word of the A2 show on to anyone else who you think might be interested in taking part.

For an entry form and further information please call us on 01227 281174 or email us at info@horsebridge-centre.org.uk

ALEX GWYTHER

Bubble Club Presents - Skip ‘Little Axe’ McDonald

Sep 25 2010

Saturday 25 September 8pm (doors/bar 7pm)

Bubble Club brings you only the best live music and a unique club experience at the Horsebridge.

Since playing blues on his father's guitar aged eight in the American Deep South, Skip has been on quite the journey through music, first seeing success in the seventies. Skip has been linked with legendary Sugarhill Records, Grandmaster Flash, Afrika Bambaata, James Brown and many more! Delivering pinches of reggae and gospel with shimmering blues guitar licks, this is a return to the raucous, rich blues rhythms that Skip grew up with.

This is a rare opportunity to see one of the main driving forces in the creation of modern urban black music in action. Blistering stuff!
