Tuesday 11 June
7 – 9pm
Join us for a thought-provoking conversation between esteemed mining artist Bob Olley and the visionary founders of the Gemini Collection of Mining Art, Dr. Robert McManners OBE and Gillian Wales.
Hear first-hand about Olley’s fascinating journey from the mining industry to becoming a celebrated professional painter, as he reflects on his iconic works and their significance in documenting the essence of mining life. Against the backdrop of the upcoming Mining Art Gallery exhibition, “The Last Cage Down,” which explores the profound legacy of the Miners’ Strike of 1984-85, expect moments of profound reflection intertwined with Olley’s trademark humour. This event promises to be both enlightening and delightfully entertaining.
