New Mackenzie Thorpe September Exhibition

There's always something happening at the Arthaus gallery, a place that seems to be a real hub for the local Richmond community. Right now, there's a special buzz around a brand-new, exclusive piece of art from Mackenzie Thorpe that captures a familiar landmark in a completely new way. Alongside this, the gallery is getting ready for a new month packed with an exciting exhibition celebrating the local area, and even a brilliant way to support the wider community. It's a great time to pop in and see what's going on, whether you're a long-time art lover or just a bit curious.

A new view of a local landmark

Ever walked past Richmond Castle at night and just stopped for a moment? There's a certain quiet magic to it when the sun goes down. That's exactly the feeling the renowned artist Mackenzie Thorpe has captured in his latest work. Titled simply 'Richmond Castle', this new piece is a limited edition print available exclusively through Arthaus.

Mackenzie Thorpe himself shared his thoughts on creating this special print, which really gets to the heart of what makes Richmond so special:

Richmond has always had a quiet magic about it. In this print, I wanted to capture the castle at night, the stillness, the history, and the feeling of coming home. It’s a Richmond that’s close to my heart, and I hope it speaks to yours too.

From our town’s beloved landmarks to the grazing sheep and that breath-taking sky, the piece captures Richmond’s beauty and atmosphere in a way that really resonated with visitors. It’s been wonderful to see how much the community connects with it!

A final chance for Middlesbrough art

For anyone who hasn't had the chance yet, the 'Mackenzie's Middlesbrough' exhibition is in its final days. This showcase of art has been a popular attraction, offering another glimpse into the artist's world and his connection to the North East. The exhibition is set to end this weekend, so it's the last opportunity to see this particular collection at the gallery.

And it's not just for the grown-ups. The Arthaus gallery has made sure there are fun activities available for younger visitors, too. This means parents and carers can take their time exploring the art, knowing the kids are happily occupied. It's a brilliant way to introduce children to the world of art and artists in a fun, relaxed setting. This exhibition has been a fantastic way to engage the community with Mackenzie Thorpe's wider body of work, beyond the local Richmond scenes.

Celebrating the harvest and community in September

As summer fades, the gallery is getting ready for a new exhibition in September called 'Life on the Land'. This sounds perfect for celebrating the changing seasons, especially around here. The exhibition will focus on celebrating the First Fruits of the Harvest, a theme that feels very connected to the local area. It will showcase powerful artworks from Mackenzie Thorpe that explore rural life, the busy energy of harvest time, and the warmth of community spirit that comes with it.

But that's not all. There's another intriguing part of the September lineup. An installation described as 'Still Life... with a Twist...' will reimagine the work of famous artists. This sounds like a fun and creative take on classic art, and it will be fascinating to see what the artists have come up with. The entire exhibition is timed perfectly, running right up until Richmond's own First Fruits Ceremony and the local Produce Show. It's great to see the local art scene tying in so well with long-standing community traditions and events like the produce show.

More than just a gallery: art and community action

Arthaus is showing that it's more than just a place to see art; it's a key part of the Richmond community. From the 1st to the 13th of September, the gallery will be hosting a Donation Station to support a vital local service. This initiative is a great example of real community spirit in action.

Here's what's happening and how people can get involved:

• What: A Donation Station for the local food bank.
• When: From the 1st to the 13th of September.
• Where: Inside the Arthaus gallery.
• How to help: Anyone can bring along non-perishable food items to contribute.

Every single donation helps members of the local community who might be struggling. This fantastic idea shows how a local gallery can play an active role in supporting the people around it, turning a love for art and beauty into practical help for those in need. It's a powerful reminder of what community is all about. Whether popping in to see the new limited edition 'Richmond Castle' print or the 'Life on the Land' exhibition, visitors can also do something positive for their neighbours.
