Images from the Exhibition Book launch of "Rufus and the Biggest Diamond in the World" Saturday 19 January 2008

This annual exhibition remains a firm favourite in the gallery year, brightening up the gloomy winter days with colourful artworks from floor to ceiling.

Twelve local primary schools have contributed drawings, paintings, collage and printmaking, and sculpture in many forms.

Art is a broad subject, and some of the work shows a high degree of observation and concentration, or a mastery of sophisticated processes and techniques, while other pieces sing out with the sheer unbounded enthusiasm and enjoyment of the creative process.

For many local, adult, artists it is this truly uninhibited, creative work that makes the annual Primary Colours exhibition so inspirational.

Picasso recognised this when he said, 'Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.'

Harbour House is grateful to Kingsbridge Town Council for its contribution to the cost of staging this important exhibition.

Harbour House is also delighted to welcome local author Michael Elsmere, who launches his new children's book on the opening day of the Primary Colours exhibition. Rufus and the Biggest Diamond in the World is an adventure story aimed at 9 - 14 year olds, and Michael will give a reading every hour between 11am and 3pm on Saturday 19 January.
