Geographically peripheral yet culturally magnetic, it has repeatedly drawn artists seeking distance from metropolitan convention and proximity to something more elemental — light, land, weather, rhythm, and belief.This exhibition traces the Cornish lineage of modern British art, focusing on abstraction, spiritual formalism, and painterly autonomy. It examines how artists working in and around Cornwall helped reshape post-war British painting, often in quiet opposition to London-centric narratives, and how this legacy continues to reverberate today.The Newlyn School and the Foundations of Cornish ArtThe story begins in the late 19th century with the Newlyn School, a loose collective of artists drawn to Cornwall’s fishing communities and distinctive light. Influenced by French plein-air painting, Newlyn artists prioritised realism, labour, and everyday life — fishermen, harbours, domestic interiors — painted directly from observation.While figurative in nature, the Newlyn School established something crucial: Cornwall as a place where artists could work outside institutional pressure, responding instead to environment, community, and lived experience. This ethos would quietly underpin the radical developments that followed. #block-301d11bfbce01df629c6 { --stroke-style: none;--stroke-thickness: 6px; } #block-301d11bfbce01df629c6 .sqs-html-content { --tweak-text-block-padding: 6% 6% 6% 6%; --tweak-text-block-padding: initial; } #block-301d11bfbce01df629c6 { mix-blend-mode: var(--tweak-text-block-blend ); border-radius: var(--tweak-text-block-radius); } #block-301d11bfbce01df629c6 { --tweak-text-block-radius: 0px 0px 0px 0px; } #block-301d11bfbce01df629c6 { } @media screen and (max-width: 767px) { #block-301d11bfbce01df629c6 { } } @media screen and (max-width: 767px) { #block-301d11bfbce01df629c6 .sqs-html-content { } } @media screen and (max-width: 767px) { } <img src="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/672902b95ceac02a246319bb/1767636657404-W220QP2KV83E9M616904/Screenshot+2026-01-05+at+18.10.37.png" alt="Screenshot 2026-01-05 at 18.10.37.png" /> <img src="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/672902b95ceac02a246319bb/1767636657714-XOQTDKBNU0L95VP2954N/Screenshot+2026-01-05+at+18.10.32.png" alt="Screenshot 2026-01-05 at 18.10.32.png" /> #block-yui_3_17_2_1_1767636366786_3990 .sqs-gallery-block-grid .sqs-gallery-design-grid { margin-right: -20px; } #block-yui_3_17_2_1_1767636366786_3990 .sqs-gallery-block-grid .sqs-gallery-design-grid-slide .margin-wrapper { margin-right: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; } St Ives: From Landscape to AbstractionBy the mid-20th century, Cornwall — and St Ives in particular — had become the epicentre of British modernism. The St Ives School marked a decisive shift away from representation toward abstraction, formal experimentation, and spiritual inquiry.Unlike their continental counterparts, St Ives artists did not abandon landscape — they absorbed it. Sea, stone, sky, and wind were translated into rhythm, geometry, colour, and gesture. Abstraction here was not theoretical; it was physical, environmental, and deeply felt. #block-yui_3_17_2_1_1767636366786_7965 { --stroke-style: none;--stroke-thickness: 6px; } #block-yui_3_17_2_1_1767636366786_7965 .sqs-html-content { --tweak-text-block-padding: 6% 6% 6% 6%; --tweak-text-block-padding: initial; } #block-yui_3_17_2_1_1767636366786_7965 { mix-blend-mode: var(--tweak-text-block-blend ); border-radius: var(--tweak-text-block-radius); } #block-yui_3_17_2_1_1767636366786_7965 { --tweak-text-block-radius: 0px 0px 0px 0px; } #block-yui_3_17_2_1_1767636366786_7965 { } @media screen and (max-width: 767px) { #block-yui_3_17_2_1_1767636366786_7965 { } } @media screen and (max-width: 767px) { #block-yui_3_17_2_1_1767636366786_7965 .sqs-html-content { } } @media screen and (max-width: 767px) { } <img src="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/672902b95ceac02a246319bb/1767636779401-HHV5A3FUPGWTPTLQLICX/Screenshot+2026-01-05+at+18.12.11.png" alt="Screenshot 2026-01-05 at 18.12.11.png" /> <img src="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/672902b95ceac02a246319bb/1767636779399-YARLNEPZNBUIBRIHNLCU/Screenshot+2026-01-05+at+18.12.03.png" alt="Screenshot 2026-01-05 at 18.12.03.png" /> <img src="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/672902b95ceac02a246319bb/1767636780845-EPHRH5SWXWUY3R4ZI8MA/Screenshot+2026-01-05+at+18.11.59.png" alt="Screenshot 2026-01-05 at 18.11.59.png" /> #block-yui_3_17_2_1_1767636366786_10117 .sqs-gallery-block-grid .sqs-gallery-design-grid { margin-right: -20px; } #block-yui_3_17_2_1_1767636366786_10117 .sqs-gallery-block-grid .sqs-gallery-design-grid-slide .margin-wrapper { margin-right: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; } Adrian Heath and the Discipline of FormAdrian Heath was central to the intellectual rigour of British abstraction. His work balanced colour relationships, structural tension, and spatial clarity, influenced by Constructivism yet softened by the Cornish environment.Heath represented a belief that abstraction could be both emotionally restrained and philosophically charged — a language capable of clarity without coldness. His presence in Cornwall reinforced St Ives as a place where abstraction was taken seriously, not decoratively. #block-yui_3_17_2_1_1767636366786_14364 { --stroke-style: none;--stroke-thickness: 6px; } #block-yui_3_17_2_1_1767636366786_14364 .sqs-html-content { --tweak-text-block-padding: 6% 6% 6% 6%; --tweak-text-block-padding: initial; } #block-yui_3_17_2_1_1767636366786_14364 { mix-blend-mode: var(--tweak-text-block-blend ); border-radius: var(--tweak-text-block-radius); } #block-yui_3_17_2_1_1767636366786_14364 { --tweak-text-block-radius: 0px 0px 0px 0px; } #block-yui_3_17_2_1_1767636366786_14364 { } @media screen and (max-width: 767px) { #block-yui_3_17_2_1_1767636366786_14364 { } } @media screen and (max-width: 767px) { #block-yui_3_17_2_1_1767636366786_14364 .sqs-html-content { } } @media screen and (max-width: 767px) { } <img src="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/672902b95ceac02a246319bb/1767636882502-TY9J0VFOCHJFOT6TD1BT/Screenshot+2026-01-05+at+18.14.22.png" alt="Screenshot 2026-01-05 at 18.14.22.png" /> <img src="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/672902b95ceac02a246319bb/1767636882517-O6ZUD67348Z6BB7QY5XX/Screenshot+2026-01-05+at+18.14.17.png" alt="Screenshot 2026-01-05 at 18.14.17.png" /> #block-yui_3_17_2_1_1767636366786_14823 .sqs-gallery-block-grid .sqs-gallery-design-grid { margin-right: -20px; } #block-yui_3_17_2_1_1767636366786_14823 .sqs-gallery-block-grid .sqs-gallery-design-grid-slide .margin-wrapper { margin-right: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; } Paul Feiler: Geometry, Faith, and Inner StructureA key figure in this exhibition, Paul Feiler brought a profound spiritual and ethical dimension to abstraction. A German-born refugee, Feiler’s work fused rigorous geometry with deeply personal belief systems, often rooted in Christian theology and moral order.His paintings are meditative without being passive — ordered yet charged. In Cornwall, Feiler found a setting where abstraction could exist as a moral and spiritual practice, not merely a formal one. #block-yui_3_17_2_1_1767636366786_10187 { --stroke-style: none;--stroke-thickness: 6px; } #block-yui_3_17_2_1_1767636366786_10187 .sqs-html-content { --tweak-text-block-padding: 6% 6% 6% 6%; --tweak-text-block-padding: initial; } #block-yui_3_17_2_1_1767636366786_10187 { mix-blend-mode: var(--tweak-text-block-blend ); border-radius: var(--tweak-text-block-radius); } #block-yui_3_17_2_1_1767636366786_10187 { --tweak-text-block-radius: 0px 0px 0px 0px; } #block-yui_3_17_2_1_1767636366786_10187 { } @media screen and (max-width: 767px) { #block-yui_3_17_2_1_1767636366786_10187 { } } @media screen and (max-width: 767px) { #block-yui_3_17_2_1_1767636366786_10187 .sqs-html-content { } } @media screen and (max-width: 767px) { } <img src="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/672902b95ceac02a246319bb/1767637049010-AJCNGUNI6QSLSW79AVJM/Screenshot+2026-01-05+at+18.16.33.png" alt="Screenshot 2026-01-05 at 18.16.33.png" /> <img src="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/672902b95ceac02a246319bb/1767637049322-9E58P1QDG8P21FG5KVMO/Screenshot+2026-01-05+at+18.16.26.png" alt="Screenshot 2026-01-05 at 18.16.26.png" /> #block-yui_3_17_2_1_1767636366786_17159 .sqs-gallery-block-grid .sqs-gallery-design-grid { margin-right: -20px; } #block-yui_3_17_2_1_1767636366786_17159 .sqs-gallery-block-grid .sqs-gallery-design-grid-slide .margin-wrapper { margin-right: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; } Terry Frost and the Liberation of ColourWhere others pursued restraint, Terry Frost embraced colour as force, movement, and emotional release. His work pulses with arcs, diagonals, and saturated hues, echoing the vitality of the Cornish coast.Frost’s contribution lies in demonstrating that abstraction could be joyful, expansive, and bodily — a language of lived experience rather than pure theory. His work helped dismantle the idea that seriousness in abstraction required austerity. #block-yui_3_17_2_1_1767636366786_17229 { --stroke-style: none;--stroke-thickness: 6px; } #block-yui_3_17_2_1_1767636366786_17229 .sqs-html-content { --tweak-text-block-padding: 6% 6% 6% 6%; --tweak-text-block-padding: initial; } #block-yui_3_17_2_1_1767636366786_17229 { mix-blend-mode: var(--tweak-text-block-blend ); border-radius: var(--tweak-text-block-radius); } #block-yui_3_17_2_1_1767636366786_17229 { --tweak-text-block-radius: 0px 0px 0px 0px; } #block-yui_3_17_2_1_1767636366786_17229 { } @media screen and (max-width: 767px) { #block-yui_3_17_2_1_1767636366786_17229 { } } @media screen and (max-width: 767px) { #block-yui_3_17_2_1_1767636366786_17229 .sqs-html-content { } } @media screen and (max-width: 767px) { } <img src="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/672902b95ceac02a246319bb/1767637136086-N1FA6X9VYBMC1VUSJ0MA/Screenshot+2026-01-05+at+18.18.14.png" alt="Screenshot 2026-01-05 at 18.18.14.png" /> <img src="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/672902b95ceac02a246319bb/1767637136321-7MGBWGM8FRCRXLXQ5YLM/Screenshot+2026-01-05+at+18.18.09.png" alt="Screenshot 2026-01-05 at 18.18.09.png" /> #block-yui_3_17_2_1_1767636366786_20223 .sqs-gallery-block-grid .sqs-gallery-design-grid { margin-right: -20px; } #block-yui_3_17_2_1_1767636366786_20223 .sqs-gallery-block-grid .sqs-gallery-design-grid-slide .margin-wrapper { margin-right: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; } Simeon Stafford and the Persistence of PlaceWhile much of this exhibition focuses on abstraction, Simeon Stafford represents an important counterpoint. His figurative and semi-abstract works are rooted in Cornish life — harbours, rituals, working communities — echoing the Newlyn School while remaining unmistakably contemporary.Stafford’s work reminds us that Cornwall’s artistic identity has never been singular. Instead, it is a continuum, where representation and abstraction coexist, overlap, and inform one another. #block-yui_3_17_2_1_1767636366786_20293 { --stroke-style: none;--stroke-thickness: 6px; } #block-yui_3_17_2_1_1767636366786_20293 .sqs-html-content { --tweak-text-block-padding: 6% 6% 6% 6%; --tweak-text-block-padding: initial; } #block-yui_3_17_2_1_1767636366786_20293 { mix-blend-mode: var(--tweak-text-block-blend ); border-radius: var(--tweak-text-block-radius); } #block-yui_3_17_2_1_1767636366786_20293 { --tweak-text-block-radius: 0px 0px 0px 0px; } #block-yui_3_17_2_1_1767636366786_20293 { } @media screen and (max-width: 767px) { #block-yui_3_17_2_1_1767636366786_20293 { } } @media screen and (max-width: 767px) { #block-yui_3_17_2_1_1767636366786_20293 .sqs-html-content { } } @media screen and (max-width: 767px) { } <img src="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/672902b95ceac02a246319bb/1767637926394-WVNVE4ZHB1AXCWAR001N/Screenshot+2026-01-05+at+18.31.37.png" alt="Screenshot 2026-01-05 at 18.31.37.png" /> <img src="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/672902b95ceac02a246319bb/1767637927120-NZ4OQRI9E8LFSSS93VU9/Screenshot+2026-01-05+at+18.31.29.png" alt="Screenshot 2026-01-05 at 18.31.29.png" /> <img src="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/672902b95ceac02a246319bb/1767637929090-F1W4LYBGKWHJQUDGR33C/Screenshot+2026-01-05+at+18.31.20.png" alt="Screenshot 2026-01-05 at 18.31.20.png" /> #block-yui_3_17_2_1_1767636366786_22975 .sqs-gallery-block-grid .sqs-gallery-design-grid { margin-right: -20px; } #block-yui_3_17_2_1_1767636366786_22975 .sqs-gallery-block-grid .sqs-gallery-design-grid-slide .margin-wrapper { margin-right: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; } Tate St Ives and Institutional RecognitionThe opening of Tate St Ives in 1993 marked a turning point. What had once been peripheral was formally canonised. Artists who worked in relative isolation were now repositioned within the national and international narrative of modern art.Yet institutional recognition also risks smoothing edges — turning lived radicalism into heritage. This exhibition seeks to reclaim the urgency, difficulty, and conviction behind Cornish modernism. #block-yui_3_17_2_1_1767636366786_23045 { --stroke-style: none;--stroke-thickness: 6px; } #block-yui_3_17_2_1_1767636366786_23045 .sqs-html-content { --tweak-text-block-padding: 6% 6% 6% 6%; --tweak-text-block-padding: initial; } #block-yui_3_17_2_1_1767636366786_23045 { mix-blend-mode: var(--tweak-text-block-blend ); border-radius: var(--tweak-text-block-radius); } #block-yui_3_17_2_1_1767636366786_23045 { --tweak-text-block-radius: 0px 0px 0px 0px; } #block-yui_3_17_2_1_1767636366786_23045 { } @media screen and (max-width: 767px) { #block-yui_3_17_2_1_1767636366786_23045 { } } @media screen and (max-width: 767px) { #block-yui_3_17_2_1_1767636366786_23045 .sqs-html-content { } } @media screen and (max-width: 767px) { } <img src="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/672902b95ceac02a246319bb/1767637398162-4A3WBEP35T0KKCKOS7WK/Screenshot+2026-01-05+at+18.22.41.png" alt="Screenshot 2026-01-05 at 18.22.41.png" /> <img src="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/672902b95ceac02a246319bb/1767637400322-1QQU58RO5AN8F9OBAVFN/Screenshot+2026-01-05+at+18.22.37.png" alt="Screenshot 2026-01-05 at 18.22.37.png" /> <img src="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/672902b95ceac02a246319bb/1767637400538-HESPCALBTOB7QVOHTAQW/Screenshot+2026-01-05+at+18.22.33.png" alt="Screenshot 2026-01-05 at 18.22.33.png" /> #block-yui_3_17_2_1_1767636366786_24847 .sqs-gallery-block-grid .sqs-gallery-design-grid { margin-right: -20px; } #block-yui_3_17_2_1_1767636366786_24847 .sqs-gallery-block-grid .sqs-gallery-design-grid-slide .margin-wrapper { margin-right: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; } Gary Ray Smith: Inheritance, Autonomy, and ContinuationThe final section of the exhibition brings this history into the present through the work of Gary Ray Smith.Smith’s practice exists in dialogue with the Cornish lineage — abstraction, material sensitivity, emotional restraint — yet remains fiercely independent. His work is not revivalist. Instead, it reflects an artist shaped by inheritance but unwilling to be confined by it.Where earlier generations sought to escape institutions, Smith works in their aftermath, navigating legacy, authorship, and personal autonomy. His presence in this exhibition underscores that Cornwall is not a closed chapter, but an ongoing conversation. #block-yui_3_17_2_1_1767636366786_24917 { --stroke-style: none;--stroke-thickness: 6px; } #block-yui_3_17_2_1_1767636366786_24917 .sqs-html-content { --tweak-text-block-padding: 6% 6% 6% 6%; --tweak-text-block-padding: initial; } #block-yui_3_17_2_1_1767636366786_24917 { mix-blend-mode: var(--tweak-text-block-blend ); border-radius: var(--tweak-text-block-radius); } #block-yui_3_17_2_1_1767636366786_24917 { --tweak-text-block-radius: 0px 0px 0px 0px; } #block-yui_3_17_2_1_1767636366786_24917 { } @media screen and (max-width: 767px) { #block-yui_3_17_2_1_1767636366786_24917 { } } @media screen and (max-width: 767px) { #block-yui_3_17_2_1_1767636366786_24917 .sqs-html-content { } } @media screen and (max-width: 767px) { } <img src="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/672902b95ceac02a246319bb/1767637696245-PPYZNQAVFI8Y47MESPIK/Screenshot+2026-01-05+at+18.26.30.png" alt="Screenshot 2026-01-05 at 18.26.30.png" /> <img src="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/672902b95ceac02a246319bb/1767637625281-LIWGSHSUP0AY64V02YGW/Screenshot+2026-01-05+at+18.26.46.png" alt="Screenshot 2026-01-05 at 18.26.46.png" /> <img src="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/672902b95ceac02a246319bb/1767637697429-V58RJ776CT163BJFBCAA/Screenshot+2026-01-05+at+18.26.41.png" alt="Screenshot 2026-01-05 at 18.26.41.png" /> #block-yui_3_17_2_1_1767636366786_29737 .sqs-gallery-block-grid .sqs-gallery-design-grid { margin-right: -20px; } #block-yui_3_17_2_1_1767636366786_29737 .sqs-gallery-block-grid .sqs-gallery-design-grid-slide .margin-wrapper { margin-right: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; } ConclusionThis exhibition positions Cornish art not as a regional footnote, but as a central force in the development of modern British painting. From Newlyn’s realism to St Ives’ abstraction, from faith and geometry to colour and gesture, Cornwall has repeatedly offered artists the freedom to work differently.It remains a place where art is shaped by land, belief, and resistance — and where the past continues to inform, challenge, and inspire the present. #block-yui_3_17_2_1_1767636366786_29806 { --stroke-style: none;--stroke-thickness: 6px; } #block-yui_3_17_2_1_1767636366786_29806 .sqs-html-content { --tweak-text-block-padding: 6% 6% 6% 6%; --tweak-text-block-padding: initial; } #block-yui_3_17_2_1_1767636366786_29806 { mix-blend-mode: var(--tweak-text-block-blend ); border-radius: var(--tweak-text-block-radius); } #block-yui_3_17_2_1_1767636366786_29806 { --tweak-text-block-radius: 0px 0px 0px 0px; } #block-yui_3_17_2_1_1767636366786_29806 { } @media screen and (max-width: 767px) { #block-yui_3_17_2_1_1767636366786_29806 { } } @media screen and (max-width: 767px) { #block-yui_3_17_2_1_1767636366786_29806 .sqs-html-content { } } @media screen and (max-width: 767px) { } View Event → Jan 16 to 13 Feb Heather x Jesse Fri, 16 Jan 2026 15:00 Fri, 13 Feb 2026 19:00 Indelible Fine Art (map) Google Calendar ICS HEATHER x JESSEHeather x Jesse is an exhibition presented by Indelible Fine Art as a tribute to Heather’s close friend Jesse, whose life and creativity continue to shape the work shown here.At its centre is Heather’s practice as a canal artist working in the traditional Roses & Castles style — a historic form of narrowboat decoration rooted in British working-class heritage. Defined by bold colour, symmetry and ornament, the tradition is both disciplined and expressive, carrying personal meaning while remaining part of a living craft passed between generations.This exhibition brings together remembrance and making. It exists as a space to honour Jesse’s life without reducing it to a single moment, and to reflect on creativity, friendship and the role of art in holding memory.Alongside Heather’s work, the exhibition is accompanied by selected pieces by Alan Davie, Trevor Bell, Adrian Heath and Simeon Stafford. Shown in dialogue, these works situate the exhibition within a wider lineage of British art, creating a quiet conversation between heritage, abstraction and contemporary practice.The presentation is intentionally understated. It is not about spectacle or narrative drama, but about care, community and reflection. In parallel with the exhibition, Indelible Fine Art is using the space to signpost mental health support and resources, recognising the importance of open conversation and early intervention.Heather x Jesse is presented as both an exhibition and a point of connection — a place to remember, to look closely, and to engage thoughtfully with the work on the walls.Private ViewThe private view for Heather x Jesse will take place on Friday 13 February, 5:00–7:00pm, at Indelible Fine Art, Brighton.Guests are invited to view the exhibition in a relaxed setting and spend time with the work, the artist, and the wider community around the project.

Having departed Cornwall in a storm of salt spray and spirit, Claude’s now made landfall in Brighton: still wind-beaten, still rum-soaked, and ready to carry on roaming.Decrepney’s works are bold, graphic, and full of bite – part storybook, part pub wall, part sailor’s tattoo flash sheet. This is storytelling on canvas with a pint in hand and sea legs slightly wobbling. With a mix of new paintings and painted objects, Oi Oi Sailor is a love letter to the coast, to eccentricity, and to keeping the engine running, no matter how far off course things drift.Come raise a glass and meet Claude – both of them.By Artist Gary Ray Smith View Event → Apr 25 William Gear Friday 25 April 2025 18:00 20:30 Google Calendar ICS william gear collection #block-yui_3_17_2_1_1740566530748_3336 { --stroke-style: none;--stroke-thickness: 6px; } #block-yui_3_17_2_1_1740566530748_3336 .sqs-html-content { --tweak-text-block-padding: 6% 6% 6% 6%; --tweak-text-block-padding: initial; } #block-yui_3_17_2_1_1740566530748_3336 { mix-blend-mode: var(--tweak-text-block-blend ); border-radius: var(--tweak-text-block-radius); } #block-yui_3_17_2_1_1740566530748_3336 { --tweak-text-block-radius: 0px 0px 0px 0px; } #block-yui_3_17_2_1_1740566530748_3336 { } @media screen and (max-width: 767px) { #block-yui_3_17_2_1_1740566530748_3336 { } } @media screen and (max-width: 767px) { #block-yui_3_17_2_1_1740566530748_3336 .sqs-html-content { } } @media screen and (max-width: 767px) { } 25th of April 20259-10 Jew Street Brighton BN11UT #block-yui_3_17_2_1_1740566530748_4168 { --stroke-style: none;--stroke-thickness: 6px; } #block-yui_3_17_2_1_1740566530748_4168 .sqs-html-content { --tweak-text-block-padding: 6% 6% 6% 6%; --tweak-text-block-padding: initial; } #block-yui_3_17_2_1_1740566530748_4168 { mix-blend-mode: var(--tweak-text-block-blend ); border-radius: var(--tweak-text-block-radius); } #block-yui_3_17_2_1_1740566530748_4168 { --tweak-text-block-radius: 0px 0px 0px 0px; } #block-yui_3_17_2_1_1740566530748_4168 { } @media screen and (max-width: 767px) { #block-yui_3_17_2_1_1740566530748_4168 { } } @media screen and (max-width: 767px) { #block-yui_3_17_2_1_1740566530748_4168 .sqs-html-content { } } @media screen and (max-width: 767px) { } View Event → Feb 28 ALAN DAVIE JAZZ NIGHT Friday 28 February 2025 18:00 20:45 Indelible Fine Art (map) Google Calendar ICS View Event → Dec 13 CHARITY EXHBITION Friday 13 December 2024 18:00 21:00 Google Calendar ICS CHARITY EXHBITION - all Purchases go to the Lily Foundation View Event → // if no thumbnails have been uploaded, but the thumbnails tweak is enabled, manually remove the tweak class. // it just looks nicer. if( document.querySelectorAll('.eventlist--upcoming .eventlist-thumbnail').length === 0 && document.querySelectorAll('.event-show-past-events .eventlist--past .eventlist-thumbnail').length === 0) { document.querySelector('body').classList.remove('event-thumbnails'); }
