We are delighted to welcome Patrick Cullen, who has just won a prize at this year’s prestigious Lynn Painter-Stainers Competition, back to Highgate Gallery. This wide ranging exhibition is inspired by his travels in India, Italy and Transylvania, and also includes portraits, flower studies and paintings of the female nude.

Patrick uses oils and pastels to create an intense and personal response to his subject matter.  His work derives from close observation of and interaction with nature, which gives it freshness and vitality.  Whether he is concerned with a Tuscan view or an Indian street market scene, the colour, heat and atmosphere are all vividly conveyed.  As artist Ken Howard, R.A. has put it, Patrick’s work “speaks directly to us .…  He has the impressionist’s ability to fix the mood of a moment,… also his work has that quality which is essential to all great art, the balance between form and content.”

Patrick trained at St Martin’s and Camberwell art schools in the 1970s and is the recipient of many prizes in addition to the recent Lynn Painter-Stainers award, including the Watercolour Prize at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition and prizes from the Pastel Society, the Royal Watercolour Society and the New English Art Club, of which he is a member.  His paintings are in many collections including the Royal Academy and Sheffield City Art Gallery.

When not travelling, Patrick lives in Stroud Green, and is also known for his paintings of London allotment views.

This is a fantastic opportunity to participate in an ‘open to all levels’ singing workshop of songs from these famous West End musicals.

Whether you are a total beginner or an experienced singer you’ll enjoy singing fabulous songs from the West End and training your voice at the same time. Take a look at a short video of workshop run by Idit.

In the first session of the workshop we’ll teach you basic breathing and vocal techniques and show you some performing skills which you’ll be using later in the singing session.

You’ll be coached individually as well as working with the group. Kieran and Idit will prepare you for a short performance at the end of the workshop. Once you book your place on the workshop we’ll email you the song sheets with web links so you can practise in advance.

Great fun, not to be missed! Find out more and book via our Workshops page.

A new weekly after-work early-evening chill out with sounds of soul, motown and 1960’s garage. Starting at 8pm and building into a very lively night after 10pm once the early weekend crowd come out!

Fri 1st Lost in the Supermarket 10pm – 2am A night for dancing! Hosted by the very glamorous Ms Ali Rose, it’s got soul, Elvis, RnB, Motown, Indie dreams and a little Bruce… All brought to you lovingly by the girl with the rosette!

Following on from the telephone boxes renovation last year, we have organised a clean-up morning for the streets around the immediate centre of Highgate. A bit late for a full Spring clean, our aim for this first event is to clean up some of the irritating things we all see that can be easily remedied: green moss on road signs, small bits of graffiti, corners where litter builds up. Where a job needs doing but demands greater expertise like a broken or bent sign or railings we would list these fully to let Camden Council or Haringey Council know this as a Highgate Society request. If you would like to take part we would be delighted to see you. All ages and abilities are welcome. Old clothes are needed but we will provide plastic gloves and all necessary clearing materials, including rags and buckets.

Suggestions for specific clean up points, large or small, also welcomed! It would be particularly helpful if you would indicate if you intend to help so we can have an idea of numbers and materials needed.”
