We look forward to welcoming members to the first Business Club of the new season at the outstanding Brownston Galley followed if you choose, by an exquisite dinner at the White Hart Hotel (discounted for members) on Thursday, September 28th, from, 5:30pm.

The Brownston Gallery is one of the leading contemporary fine art galleries in the region.  Join us for informal networking amongst beautiful art and hear from an insightful panel of local businesses in our area.

We’re thrilled that members and guests will have an exclusive Private View of an exciting new exhibition at the gallery – P A I N T – A CELEBRATION OF THE PRACTICE AND TEACHING OF PAINTING led and curated by RICHARD KENTON WEBB MA (RCA), together with past and present graduates from Arts University Plymouth and University of Plymouth. A unique collaboration bringing together a wealth of painting talent.
