October 27th – December 22nd 2012 Wem Town Hall, 28 - 32 High Street, Wem, Shropshire, SY4 5DG.

On Sunday 27th May AT welcomes you to Performance Sunday! Performances at 3pm and 4pm. Last year's sunny garden-based event was so well received that we simply had to ask poets Lonny Pop and Deborah Tyler Bennett and artist Josephine Dimbleby to join us again. Deborah Tyler-Bennett is a widely published poet who weaves overheard conversations, historical detail and eccentric characters in her wry depictions of the English dandy, faded glamour, princely excess and dirty stop-outs. Gonzo Poet Lonny Pop brings colour, joy, mythology and mischief to her poems and stories. Lonny is a member of local writing and[...]

We're great fans of Digital Bungalow, purveyors of all things lovely - and fine fellows, too. So we were thrilled to see a writeup of our open house on their blog, along with some rather fantastic photographs. Finally something to do those cakes justice! They recommend visiting us for the final weekend. You probably should take their advice. What with their impeccable taste and all. Read their super post here

On Sunday, our friend Beatty Hallas was a welcome mat of sorts. Beatty is an artist who is interested in 'public affirmations' - ways people interact, respond, make things better - how they look after one another. For the open house, she stood like a sentry in our doorway, welcoming people. Nothing more, nothing less, and let interactions and conversations happen naturally. More information about Beatty can be found at www.beattyhallas.co.uk and be sure to pick up or download one of her[...]

Friendly people! Great work! Fun! Cake! Week 2 Lovely weather! Friendly people! Great work! Fun! Cake! The future can't be told.

Thank goodness: Our living room with silver rings by Winsome and Saucy, paintings by Natalie Martin and Cushions by Mr. Wingate Some lovely[...]

Wow - we just got a great parcel of delight from New York! We're big fans of Jeffrey Lewis, a mosquito-murdering musician & comic book artist; at a gig we came across his mind-bending FUFF comic and thought it would be great to have some at the open house. Mostly so we could read more! Lovely chap that he is, he's obliged us with some signed copies which will be going for a steal, so get down[...]

The ever-fantastic Delicious Industries just tweeted pics of some cards that will be gracing our shelves in May!
