Happy 55th Birthday To The Half Moon
Celebrate with 'New Moon' - a free one-day exhibition of artworks by Stella Tooth
The Half Moon Putney will be marking its 55th year with 'New Moon' - a free one-day exhibition of artworks completed by its Resident Artist Stella Tooth on Good Friday, 30 March from 12 -4.30pm.
Stella is a trained portrait artist, and is fascinated by performers, as artist in residence she seeks to capture the creative energy of many of the best loved actsat The Half Moon. Stella aims to tell the stories of the musicians, exploring themes of separation and connection and seeking to blur the boundaries between illustration and fine art.
Throughout 2017 Stella had been busy capturing the creative energy of some of the venue's best-loved bands - and will be continuing to document the special events planned with legends of the 60s to the 00s throughout 2018.
The images so far - and the story behind them - are contained in 'New Moon' an online catalogue which it’s hoped will whet your appetite to see them in the frame.
A proportion of the money raised from their sale will go to Teenage Cancer Trust, whose Honorary Patron is Roger Daltry, in a drive to raise £55k for the charity, celebrating 55 years of live music at The Half Moon.
Visitors to the exhibition will enjoy a complimentary Gin & Tonic from Sipsmith on arrival.
Closest tube: Putney Bridge.
