Our annual Open Day saw 23 members painting at the hall and welcoming about 80 visitors. It was a lovely sunny, bright day so visitors popped as they were passing. All artists were very happy to discuss their artwork and the hall was abuzz with chatter as we talked about our paintings.

Comments from visitors and the comments book included…

“Very impressed!” “The quality gets better and better!” “So interesting to see the artists painting while I can see their work on the walls” “Excellent!” “I’m very inspired. I’m going home to get out my pencils and paper!”

There were 67 framed paintings with 3 sold, 3 browsers full of 75 mounted pictures with 3 sold, Dot sold 8 of her greetings cards and there were 3 membership enquiries. A good response in only 4 hours, well done everyone!

Thank you to everyone who helped with hanging on Friday evening and a HUGE thank you to all members who kept tea, coffee, squash and biscuits constantly supplied on the day. Also for washing up and drying so many cups and saucers. We couldn’t run the day without your help and enthusiasm!

Here are all of the framed paintings…

Our last session of 2023 will be our Christmas Party on Wednesday 13th December 7-9pm.
