Kate Herbert exhibition opening

Saturday 4 February 2012, 2.00pm to 4.00pm

This exhibition shows how a working class girl from Lower Broughton, Salford, realised her dreams and ambitions by passing a scholarship to Salford Art School. It was when Kate was an evacuee at the beginning of the Second World War that her artistic ability was spotted by a teacher. Throughout her later and family life she has continued with her artwork and creative writing.

This exhibition brings together her artwork and stories from her days at Salford Art School during the war to the present day.

To RSVP to this event, please email stephanie.jones@salford.gov.uk.
