Once the public rooms were restored to their former glory, it became clear that the walls of these rooms could also become an asset for the local community. The idea of The Alexander Collection was born — an annual art exhibition showcasing modern British art which achieves a number of objectives:
In 2017 Pim Baxter, a local resident who is currently Deputy Director of the National Portrait Gallery, came on board as Patron, and is excited about developing The Alexander Collection year on year, in terms of its scope, its reach and what additional activities can spring from it.
“To see the work of so many talented artists adorn the walls of the Alexander Centre was very exciting, and I hope enjoyed by all those who have used the Centre for a wonderfully diverse range of events. It is such an asset to Faversham and giving local artists a platform to display their painting and photographs all year round, as part of the Alexander Collection, is a valuable opportunity.”
