A visit from my brother - the proprietor of an art gallery in Lincolnshire - is a great opportunity to take him on a tour of some of Harlow's art hotspots. Top of the list is of course Parndon Mill, where Sally and Roger do us proud with a tour of the gallery and studios, and we get to meet some of the artists, architects and others who rent space there, and see some of the work in hand on the sculpture trail.
We've just time for a quick stop in the town centre, so we pop in to the Gibberd Gallery to see the Sir Frederick Gibberd watercolour collection and the current temporary exhibitions. From the civic centre windows I point out the Rodin Eve sculpture in the Water Gardens, and the Elizabeth Frink boar. Brother is seriously impressed at the amount of art happening in Harlow - something we perhaps take for granted when it's around us all the time.
