At Eames Fine Art we are always working on so many exciting projects, films and online groups which we hope you'll enjoy and engage with - we have a wonderful community of art enthusiasts and although meeting at the galleries and collectors' studio is always a treat, sometimes it's good or to connect and share online as well.
So, now and then we post something which refers to a talk or event we've hosted, or sometimes not linked to a specific exhibition at all - just something that interests us - and this is where we post it when we do.
We hope you enjoy the stories and films we upload on our blog here - please do send us comments and feel free to join in with the discussions.

Lucy Bainbridge arrived at the Eames Collectors' Studio on a suitably grey and rainy Saturday morning – "I was a bit disappointed when I woke up," she told Vincent Eames, “Because I knew I'd be missing all this lovely rain by being inside – the first heavy rain we’ve had for weeks!" For an artist whose entire practice depends on exactly this kind of weather, it's ironic that the best shooting conditions of the summer arrived on the day she’s here to talk about them.
We invited Lucy into Eames to celebrate a milestone: this year's Royal Academy Summer Exhibition marked the tenth time she's been invited to show there. "Which I commented means that I'm just very old," Lucy deadpanned – but the real story, as Vincent drew out over the course of the talk, is of an artist twenty years into her career who is still restlessly reinventing how she works.
