High Peak Artists' and Craft Workers' Association
This is a purpose built new exhibition space in the main Pavilion Gardens building for the 36 members of High Peak Artists Association and is provided by High Peak Borough Council. It is adjacent to the new Tourist Information Centre and shop. It is a replacement for the Pump Room exhibition, which ran for about 12 years in Buxton Crescent. I have framed and unframed photographs, big and small, as well as posters for sale. The Gallery is open every day of the year except Christmas Day. If you would like to come and meet me or have a chat I include the days when I will be on duty in the Gallery (roughly once a week) in my Events calendar. For those of you that knew the Pump Room in Buxton, it is being redeveloped as part of the Crescent Spa Hotel project and will be the first part to be renovated and converted into a tea room.
