Kent is brimming with artistic talent. Here are some current creations on display around the county.

MAIDSTONE

Seeing things in a different light – and a different way – is the subject of a photographic exhibition at Maidstone Museum.

From a Different Perspective features images captured by members of the Kent Association for the Blind, based in the town, who all have varying degrees of sight loss.
They will be on display at the St Faith’s Street site until Saturday, November 28.
Entry is free and during museum opening times. For details go to www.museum.maidstone.gov.uk

TUNBRIDGE WELLS

They’re a cut above the rest – literally!
Painstakingly crafted entirely by hand, papercut artworks are a delicate wonder, and more than 50 of them have gone on display in Tunbridge Wells.
It’s partly a reaction to the world of ever-increasing technology, say owners, artists Chris Pope and Helen Lawn.
"In a world where it is increasingly easy to mass produce almost anything, including art, we wanted to create a space that celebrates the individuality of art that is entirely one-off, and created by hand," said Helen.
"There’s only ever one version of each piece, and they can be A4 to A1. They also come in different colours."

The Pope & Lawn gallery is at 3a John Street, Tunbridge Wells, and is open between 11am and 5pm Monday to Friday except Thursdays. For details go to www.popeandlawn.com

FOLKESTONE

He’s currently working on creating two Celtic giants Gog and Magog, but Folkestone artist took a breather to open an exhibition of more than 300 works of art by other artistic locals.
Charles Newington, who famously carved the white horse in the chalk above the Channel Tunnel entrance, and whose Celtic goddess figurines are on display at the British Museum, opened Folkestone Art Society’s annual exhibition at the Grand in the town.

It features work by 80 of its members and runs until Sunday, November 22. It once counted Sir Winston Churchill among its members.
There will be prizes for many of the works on show, including the Gloria Gordon Award, which will look at work from sketchbooks by more than GCSE and A-level students and be judged by eminent local artists.
It is open daily from 10 am to 5pm and entrance is free. For details go to www.folkestoneartsociety.co.uk
