John Piper - South Porch 1964

With a series of linked exhibitions, In Living Memory shows how artists have represented the town, capturing its people and places, from the 1940s to the present day. There will be accompanying art walks, talks and participatory activities for all ages.

Following in the footsteps of JMW Turner were 20th century luminaries such as artist John Piper and the engraver and printmaker Robin Tanner. In recent years, many artists have made Malmesbury their home, including the celebrated landscape painter Julian Barrow, ceramicist Mary White and acclaimed Scottish sculptor James Castle. The local area continues to inspire the many artists living here, working in painting, textiles, photography, ceramics, glass, metal and mixed media.
