Gallery (Jersey)

Words: Toby Balderson It’s that time again. Election season. Circular Economies. Island Life. Self-Sustaining. DFDS. Housing. My letterbox and my social media is full of it. Honestly, I mostly try to ignore it. But I thought, wouldn’t it be interesting to actually analyse everything that our new cohort of potential leaders have to say.

Relationship and intimacy specialist Maggie Bain – also known as the Bare Naked Coach – has moved to the Jersey and joined our Gallery ranks to help local couples repair their relationships. She will be answering questions which she has received from you, hoping to help those with similar problems by drawing on a decade of experience in the field. Words: Maggie Bain, Photography: Oliver Doran Q: How much privacy is healthy in a relationship? A: This is such a great question.

Golden Hour Entertainment, run by co-directors Megan Reynolds and Alice Veitch, brings a fresh, modern energy to the island’s performing arts scene while staying true to a legacy of quality. Formerly known as JLee Productions, the company already had a strong reputation.

The set comes courtesy of Martin from Jenca Music School, who has partnered with his daughter Aimee to bring an offbeat, fresh addition to the steady rhythm of market life. Huzzah, with its eclectic interiors and artistic products, feels less like a traditional shop and more like a creative hub, where music and art come together.

Fast forward to today, and I recently came across WisprFlow (not sponsored, unfortunately).

Friday 20th March ArtHouse Jersey @ Capital House The second edition of The Channel Islands Contemporary Art Show opened with a lively evening at the gallery, bringing together artists and guests from across Jersey, Guernsey, Brittany and the UK. Visitors moved between sculpture, painting, photography and digital works, with drinks in hand as conversations flowed. The atmosphere was distinctly communal, reflecting the spirit of the exhibition itself.
