Southampton Water: Artist Talk with Bridget MacDonald

Event Information

Join Bridget Macdonald for what will be an interesting talk, accompanying the preview of her new exhibition of paintings and drawings, on display 23 April – 5 September 2027. Stay and see the exhibition afterwards at a preview event from 6pm to 8pm.

Bridget Macdonald was born in 1943 at Knowles Farm close by St Catherine’s Lighthouse on the southernmost tip of the Isle of Wight. Southampton was another world but shipping passing in the Channel was a reminder of the geographical situation of the island and its proximity to the port and the city. The contrast between the two and Southampton Water as both an actual waterway and a metaphorical ‘gateway to the world’ is the focus of this exhibition.
