This exhibition is the third in Chippenham Museum’s Spotlight series dedicated to its growing Modern and Contemporary Art Collection.
The project began in 2019 with the desire to celebrate the rich artistic history of this part of North Wiltshire. As a permanent collection, it acts as a source of inspiration, education and enjoyment for all.
At the heart of the Modern and Contemporary Art Collection are works that acknowledge the legacy of the Bath Academy of Art in Corsham, a pioneering residential art school that counted some of the biggest names in modern and contemporary art amongst its teachers and students.
North Wiltshire’s creativity proudly extends beyond the Academy, and the collection records and celebrates the many contemporary artists who continue to live and work in this area today.
Further details about the artworks can also be found in the accompanying catalogue available in the museum shop.
Open Monday-Saturday, 10am-4pm

Hidden Canvases - 'Street Art and the City' A talk by Doug Gillen
2024-02-24 13:00 - 14:00 | Platinum House, Chippenham, 35 Market Place, Chippenham, Wiltshire, SN15 3HT, United Kingdom
There’s more to the world of street art than Banksy – Hidden Canvases is a beginner’s guide to the biggest art movement since pop art.
Doug Gillen is the man behind Fifth Wall TV, a London based production channel, and digital platform that investigates all aspects of graffiti and street art. Originally from Scotland. He created Fifth Wall TV six years ago, and he’s been filming and talking about the world of street art and graffiti ever since. From train writing in New York to interactive technology that brings murals to life, the concept of un-commissioned public art is a very different beast to that which it once was.
Hidden Canvases explores the key stages in street art’s growth examining the different elements and styles that comprise the scene with no rules.
From the international superstars to the local underground heroes you’re guaranteed to leave knowing your Invader from your Aryz and who knows – you might even start looking at the world a little differently.
Brought to you by The Arts Society Kington Langley – part of The Arts Society.

Platinum Hall, (please note that the Hall is on the first floor)
Talk is 1 hour 1:00PM – 2:00PM

But, accuracy isn’t the most important thing, and we don’t mind if your version of the Old Palace (now Chippenham Museum) is green and blue and has extra turrets – it’s coming and having a go that counts.
We’ll also take all donations of Lego for our attempt, both in the run up to the event and even on the day – bring them to WSHC reception, or Chippenham Library. All donations will be given to Chippenham Library’s Lego Club after we’ve finished creating our masterpiece.

Annie Oakley is the best shot around, and she manages to support her little brother and sister by selling the game she hunts.
When she’s discovered by Col. Buffalo Bill, he persuades this novel sharpshooter to join his Wild West Show. It only takes one glance for her to fall head over heels for dashing shooting ace Frank Butler, who headlines the show.
She soon eclipses Butler as the main attraction which, while good for business, is bad for romance. Butler hightails it off to join a rival show, his bruised male ego leading the way, but is ultimately pitted against Annie in a final shoot-out.
The rousing, sure-fire finale hits the mark every time in a testament to the power of female ingenuity.
Tickets: Standard from £16* | Concessions (over 65/under 16) from £14* | Under 16s must be accompanied by an adult
