Preview: Every Kind of People, Lime Tree Gallery
As the song goes ‘it takes every kinda people, to make what life’s about’.
And the latest exhibition at Hotwell Road’s excellent Lime Tree Gallery explores that theme through the eyes of many of the gallery’s finest artists. The result is a wide-ranging exhibition of interesting people doing interesting things in interesting places.

Highlights include a new artist to the gallery, locally-based Robert Hewer, who trained at Bath Spa University graduating in 2013 and now lives and paints near the city. “We believe that he is a serious talent, so we are delighted that he has agreed to exhibit with us,” explains gallery owner Sue Dean.
