The exhibition, which runs until May 29, features 48 works by female UK illustrators. Among them are Helen Bales, Julia Trickey, Fiona Kane and Jarnie Godwin.
Prices range from £500-5000.
BADA Friends event
The next BADA Friends event takes place this week at the Arts & Crafts Christ Church in Southgate, north London.
The church was designed by Sir George William Scott with Pre-Raphaelite stained glass windows supplied by the Morris firm incorporating designs by Burne-Jones, Rossetti and Morris.
Tickets are still available for the event on Wednesday, May 25, at 2.30pm via anne@bada.org
Next month (June 13) BADA Friends visits Aldby Park in Yorkshire. This early Georgian house is set above the river Derwent with a former deer park and landscaped gardens which reveal the site’s earlier history. Aldby Park is home to a portrait of the famed Darley Arabian, one of three Georgian stallions responsible for siring modern British thoroughbred racing stock.
