Ten artists from OHOS and arjeea21 are excited to be working with the REME Museum of Technology in 2014 to make work that responds to items in the collection in Arborfield and to the work of the Corps of Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers. Visitors will be welcome at two art exhibitions: "Test Pieces" in the Keep in Reading in April that shows the use of small models in creative and technical processes, plus a major exhibition in the Prince Philip Vehicle Hall at REME in Arborfield throughout the summer. This project is funded by a grant to the REME Museum by Arts Council England.

Architectural Heritage Fund Grant
OpenHand OpenSpace is delighted to be awarded a grant of £2900 from the Architectural Heritage Fund for a Project Viability Report. This is to assess plans for the future sustainable use of the Keep, and includes a new structural survey and costing of likely works needed. OHOS has commissioned Mark Lovell Design Engineers for this project, as Mark recently worked on the very similar Devizes Keep, and therefore has good knowledge of the problems presented by the Reading's Keep. This is an important step towards securing the future of the artist's studios and art gallery.

If You Stare At It Long Enough
The Peacock Gallery in Maiden Erlegh is showing the work of OHOS artist Clemens Steigleder from 9 November to 5 December 2013.
It includes a year of landscape painting, focusing on the four seasons. Clemens' work is influenced by the harmony found in the work of composers such as Bach or Palestrina. He marks each painting with the composer and opus to which he was listening as he worked
