2020 SUMMER EXHIBITION – MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

I regret to inform you that owing to the Covid-19 situation we will be unable to stage our 2020 Summer Exhibition at Grasmere village hall.  Cancelling our Summer Exhibition at this stage was not an easy decision to make.  It’s something we haven’t had to do since the Second World War.

The society would like to thank you all for your support in previous years and we very much look forward to seeing you again in 2021.  Our members now have an extra year to produce beautiful and intriguing new work!

Please visit our website in the coming weeks and months, as we plan to add features and demos by our members which we hope you will enjoy!

Thank you,

Keep safe.

Kevin Chester

President.

Awards are given by local business sponsors and presented to artists of merit. Exhibiting with us can lead to elected membership.
