I will be taking part in this years Parade Artists Christmas exhibition. This is the only Parade Artists event which I have taken part in this year.
Parade Artists is a group of WASPS Studios Jewellers, Textile Designers, Glass Artists and of course painters.
The feedback we get from these events is fantastic but we find that we are a bit of a “hidden gem” as there is little publicity about the event.
This “mini” version of Open Studios – there will be around 15 artists taking part – takes place over two weekends and there will be a “pop up cafe”. there is ample free parking.
Saturday & Sunday 26th & 27th November 2011
Saturday & Sunday 3rd & 4th December 2011
From 11am until 5pm each day.
Featuring:-
Joe Hendry – Painting
Stephen Richard – Glass
Dorte Pape – Glass
Gillian Orr – Painting
Dorte Pape – Glass
Emma-Jo Webster – Textiles
Deirdre Murphy (Tenterhooks) – Textiles
Victoria Cochrane – Painting
Wasps Open Studios 2011
WASPS Open Studios is a highlight of the year for many artists. This is a fantastic event where you can visit around 40 artists in their studios at the WASPS Artist’s Studios in Hanson Street, Glasgow.
In addition to painters, there are ceramic and glass artists. We also have free parking and the fantastic Cafe Sejuiced will be open the whole weekend. I am looking forward to welcoming visitors “old and new” so please do come along.
Here’s what WASPS have to say about the Open Studios weekend:-
Saturday 1st October 2011 11am – 5pm
Sunday 2nd October 2011 12pm – 5pm
Last year 203 Wasps artists opened their doors to just under 5,000 visitors, showcasing drawing, painting, jewellery, sculpture, printmaking, video, stiained glass, ceramics, batik, installation, performance and much more. Wasps Artists’ Open Studios Weekend is a really valuable event, mainly because it lets the public see what we do as an organisation alongside giving them a rare opportunity to see inside the studios and meet artists in their working environment.
Since the event began in 2002, almost 35,000 visitors have had the chance to meet artists in their studios, chat to them about their work and learn the tricks of a number of different creative trades. The event has also generated almost £310,000 in sales and commissions – money which goes directly into artists’ pockets.
Original Joe Hendry Art will be auctioned to raise funds for the Scottish Sports Futures charity at their 10th Anniversary Black Tie Ball which is on Friday 7th October at the Grand Central Hotel in Glasgow.
Tickets for the event are available from the charity and they are also looking for additional sponsors.
From 3rd June for one month the Art Exposure Gallery in Glasgow will have several Joe Hendry landscape paintings included in it’s exhibition. This is the first time I have exhibited with Art Exposure, which has been exhibiting original art in Glasgow for over 25 years.

Hello Joe
I visited the Virginia Gallery today and wanted to let you know that your painting is very impressive. You have so much going on and I think we have yet to see the best of you. I loved that there was some insight into your thinking behind each painting in written form.
Hugely enjoyable, please don’t stop painting.
Art Admirer
