Cordell Garfield’s paintings in Northampton
You will find some of my portraits and landscape paintings at Northampton’s Museum and Art Gallery from October to 31 December 2021. The museum opened on 10 July 2021 after a major redevelopment which began in 2017. It’s now up and running with a selling gallery and permanent collections on show.
For me it’s so important that I’m exhibiting not only my portraits, but also landscapes of Northamptonshire as well. The county has some beautiful views and waterways, which I always try and capture when out and about.
It’s really great to have a central focus for Northampton art again. The town has been desperate for a such a development, particularly following the difficulties surrounding the pandemic. The museum has recently won the Heritage Organisation of the Year 2021, which is a testament to its redevelopment and the staff involved in running it.
For instance, it has a full programme of online and in-person events including workshops, talks and lectures. Above all, for a local artist like Garfield, there is no doubt the museum offers the perfect setting for displaying his work. To sum up, I would seriously recommend paying a visit and having a look around at all the exhibitions on display. Maybe have a coffee and a bite to eat at the new cafe as well!
