Longden Arts
Museum & Art Gallery in Macclesfield, Cheshire
There are currently six artists who are members of Longden Arts, collectively managing the gallery and studio space. They are Anne Aspinall, Julie Allen, Ian Jarman, Jan Lewis-Eccleston, Helen Wright, and Stephen Player. The array of work is diverse and many of the artists exhibit nationally and even as far afield as California. Ruth Davenport is now an honorary member and is presently living in North Yorkshire where she continues to paint. Membership is by invitation only, and through the years the Longden Gallery has been a valuable resource for many artists.
