Editor’s Welcome

Welcome to the Spring edition of ARTSeast Magazine.

In this issue we look ahead to the upcoming Sean Scully exhibition at Houghton Hall. We also feature the Ipswich PrintWeek, the Art For Cure exhibition at Helmingham Hall, Big Women at Firstsite and the Felixstowe Book Festival.

Our artist profile features the incredibly talented Ricky Minns - also known as Ruddy Muddy - whose famous van paintings are the tip of the iceberg of his talent. For our coffee and a chat feature we caught up with Hammond organ guru James Taylor ahead of the James Taylor Quartet gig at the Maddermarket Theatre, Norwich in April.

In our news pages, we round up some of the best exhibitions, concerts, shows and events across the region. We also have some great prizes on offer including tickets to the Marina Theatre, Lowestoft and the chance to win a family ticket to the East Anglian Game & Country Fair.

If you have anything you would like us to cover in our next issue, please drop us a line. We love to hear from you. In the meantime, we hope you enjoy this latest edition.
