Anna-Louise becomesPatron of Howarth Art Gallery

Anna-Louise is proud to have accepted the role of Patron to the Haworth Art Gallery, housed in Lancashire’s finest Arts & Crafts house and garden. It was designed by the architect, Walter Brierley and houses the internationally important Tiffany Glass Museum, as well as a complex of artists studios in the former stables – which were officially opened by Pollyanna, who also held the role of Gallery Patron. Her fellow patrons include television antiques expert Eric Knowles

“It is an honour to accept this role, and to follow in Pollyanna’s footsteps” Anna-Louise commented. “Pollyanna loved this hidden gem of a gallery, and I am so pleased to be able to keep that connection” As well as exhibiting work at the venue, Pollyanna also acted as Honorary Patron of the Macmillan Art Fair which was held there annually, and filmed an interview for the Splash of Paint TV show at the gallery
