Through Our Eyes


"Through Our Eyes" was a free exhibition at Fort Amherst in February 2009, highlighting Chatham and Brompton as they are seen today, and through the eyes of the past. Mixed Media students at Gillingham's Adult Education Centre spent the autumn term creating works for the display. The costs for the exhibition were met by the Chatham World Heritage Partnership Fund.
