COMMON LAW PRESENTATION
COMMON LAW PRESENTATION – FREE TO ATTEND Donations welcomed to cover speakers travel expenses
DATE: Thursday OCTOBER 29th 2020 TIME: 19.00 VENUE: Ulverston Art House, Lightburn House, Brogden Street, Ulverston, Cumbria. (Entrance is at the rear of the building)
In these difficult and rapidly changing circumstances why not attend and educate yourself on ‘Common Law’? The universal law under which we all stand.
It will help you to understand: Who you really are at law and who you are not. How Governments only pretend to be in control. Where the fear of authority comes from. Strategies for combating this fear using knowledge of law and how to apply them on the streets. How to engage with the Police and Marshall’s under Common Law. A vital insight into what may be behind the current global situation.

It is easy to be an Artist and turn your creative ideas into lasting gifts or souvenirs with our paint a mug facility.

that you can treasure forever, or give as a unique gift.
Exhibition Lockdown
Let us examine the situation through art. This period has to be the most thought provoking in human history.
As mask wearing obedience grips the world, what do we say as artists and thinkers? Could this be the most enlightening exhibition ever….
Now Open
We have made some exciting new changes to the layout of our studio gallery and have included a small tea room where you can enjoy a beverage and a choice of cake with the best view of Ulverston overlooking the Hoad monument.
We wish to start things off again with a new exhibition of artists work during and featuring their experiences of the ‘lockdown’. If you would like to contribute a piece then please get in touch. We have not set a final date for the exhibition as of yet but it will be at some time in July. Update, the exhibition will begin as we open on Monday. It will be a rolling exhibition until the end of August.
Keep checking back here as things are changing rapidly and new information will be posted.
We look forward to seeing all of our friends and supporters soon. Thank you all.
Evening classes at UAH
Ulverston Art House is running evening workshops for artists looking to improve their artistic skills. From novice to expert you can join our growing community to advance and expand in our vibrant art space.
Life Drawing
In April there will be the opportunity to join a life drawing group on Thursday evenings. Life drawings offer a unique chance of developing your drawing skills like no other method can. Those who do attend regular life drawing sessions tend to be the ones who become far more skilled as artists as they hone their visual observations into 2D draft. email david@ulverstonarthouse.com
Wendy Steel Exhibition
We are currently running an exhibition for a local artist Wendy Steel. Who’s inspiration is ‘feelings’, she starts with a feeling and then paints with instinctual freedom. The resulting art work is of an expressionist abstract with familiarity in some detail and a pleasing colour palet.
11:11 Ulverston Art House remembers.
A dedicated exhibition to remember those who sacrificed everything to provide liberty.
A group of diverse artists and photographers have assembled some thought provoking images on the theme of war and remembering the cost of conflict.
It is a time to embrace the significance of history as we look to the future.
Let us not march blindly into the night.
