We've got art galleries at either end of Great Pulteney Street, but maybe the Holburne at the far end of this Georgian mall has to put a bit more effort into attracting attention. Well, stand by the grand old lady of Laura Place ( that's the fountain, which isn't working again!), and look down the street. At the far end, you will see that the building's grand classical facade has a colourful add-on, and it's certainly a standout feature and one that should help draw people down. Illuminating the autumn - and an early addition to the city's festive lights- is a work by Chila Kumari Singh Burman called Glowing Canopies.

First day of a new month and a busy morning. I walked into town to chat with two leading members of the Friends of Sydney Gardens, then went to the nearby Holburne Museum to learn more about the new top gallery exhibition opening on Saturday. It's called 'Ancient Landscape, Modern Times' and brings together works by Eric Revillous, William Nicholson, Paul and John Nash, Tirzah Garwood, Peggy Angus and other British artists from the 1910s to the 1940s. Through examples of their work, the exhibition reveals how the stark forms of the South Downs and related chalk landscapes inspired a generation of artists seeking to reinvent painting for the modern age.
