Gallery and Arts Centre at Lo Marabu

It's still work in progress, but Lo Marabu Restaurant on the Lemon Tree Road is planning to use the large space upstairs as an arts centre. I already hold art classes on Wednesday mornings, but there are options for many other classes and activities. For example, card making, language classes, yoga, rehearsals etc. A very small charge would be made for the room, but it is hoped that participants will buy coffees or drinks in the bar! The room is also perfect for private parties, club or community meetings, or other gatherings. I can personally vouch for the quality of buffet provided, having held a party there a few months ago.

The art gallery is to be managed by me, simply to take the pressure off the owners, and a limited number of artworks will be accepted for sale, with 10 per cent of any proceeds going to the proprietors.

There will be an art competition, details to be released soon, in aid of the Elche orphanage.

Please call Dave Blinston on 966 716 012 to discuss possibilities for using the room.

David Blinston, one of the proprietors Lo Marabu Restaurant on the Lemon Tree Road, Quesada is converting the large, upper floor of the restaurant into a gallery and arts centre, and is looking for teachers who would like to use the space for classes. Suzanne Stokes has been teaching art there on Wednesday mornings for several years – but there are opportunities for other classes, such as card making, languages, yoga, meetings, and club gatherings to use the space on a regular basis. It is also a perfect venue for parties, and buffet meals can be provided by the restaurant.

The gallery is still work in progress and much of the work currently on display is by Suzanne’s students, and also works by local photographers. Suzanne will be managing the artwork display and a limited number of artists will be accepted. Paintings must be properly framed and saleable, and will be given a six week showing. This gives others a chance to show their work.

There will be a small charge for using the gallery rooms and it is expected that customers will buy drinks, coffees etc in return for the privilege of using it.

So if you would like to hold a class or meeting at the gallery, call David on 966 716 012

Suzanne can be contacted through her website www.sue-stokes.co.uk
