A second video of our exhibition which was been planned in conjunction with the Seaham Heritage Townscape Project team. In keeping with the stated intention of the Heritage Project which is to "improve spaces within Seaham Conservation Area". The exhibition was concerned with our artists' perceptions and interpretations of the built environment within the Seaham Conservation Area. With an emphasis upon contemporary images derived from our artist's observations of the historic features of the town.

A behind the scenes look into how members manage a "changeover" day, changing the art and exhibition in the gallery.  Its a busy time but brings together our members and encourages our community spirit.

County of Durham has much to offer by way of history, geography and culture and our members live locally and beyond the east Durham area. This exhibition showcased our home county and produced work that reflects the many and various ways in which County Durham can be appreciated and enjoyed

A special event held for Christmas. The EDAN Gallery hosted an Art Table with proceeds of the sales going to the Breast Cancer Survival trust. Please visit their website and help out this amazing cause. The Breast Cancer Survival Trust was established to give small grants to women in the North East of England who are affected by breast cancer. It was established in 1993 by a group of women in the North East who were concerned about the impact of Breast Cancer on women’s lives. The trust gives small grants of up to £100 to women to enable them to purchase whatever they think will make them feel a little better.
