The Poet and the Painter

JMW Turner believed that poetry and painting flowed from the same font, and twenty Members of the Royal Watercolour Society, in collaboration with the Poetry Society, explore this common bond. Celebrated poets, including Roger McGough, Polly Clarke, Kathleen Jamies and James Kirkup are working directly with artists to create new and exciting work.

The exhibition is being curated by David Brayne RWS.

Join the artists and poets including Lucy Newlyn, Pascale Petit and Steven Adams for an evening of poetry readings. Tickets are £5 including a glass of wine and are available from Bankside Gallery (020 7928 7521). Free for Friends.
