Watercolours by Rachel Toll

Event Date:

Boston Tea Pary, Queen Street, Exeter

Local watercolour artist, Rachel Toll, is holding an exhibition of her work in Exeter’s Boston Tea Party on Queen Street which is open until 4 January.

Rachel hopes that customers coming into the popular café will also be tempted to pick up a painting as she will be donating 20 per cent of sales to local charity, St Petrock’s, which supports people who are homeless.

Inspired by Devon’s beautiful surroundings, Rachel’s watercolours feature the coast and plants that grow here.

Venue: 
RAMM, Queen Street, Exeter

Aotearoa (New Zealand) was one of the last land masses to be discovered by humans. People first arrived there by boat 1,000 years ago and they soon found that they had access to an abundance of resources from three sacred worlds: the land, the sea and the sky.

This display takes a look at a small collection of Māori objects and specimens from the museum’s ethnography and natural history collections and explores how the Māori used these resources in daily life, battle and ceremony.

Essentially Me!

Event Date: 
01/11/2013 - 10:15pm
Venue: 
Gallery 22, RAMM, Queen Street, Exeter

Share in the wonder that objects and their stories can arouse. Inspired by the early Cabinets of Curiosity, local people display their own collections of objects to represent their lives, past and present, and their aspirations for the future.

In creating these displays, Exeter’s Youth Inclusion and Support Team, young people, parents, carers and others discovered how objects and their stories can help connect us to other times and places, understand how our world became the place it is and help us find our own place in it.

What objects would tell the story of your life?...
