Throughout the morning we had streams of members dropping their beautiful artworks off and by cut-off time we had over 300 paintings to hang…..but, thanks to all our helpers, we did it! By the end of the afternoon we had a veritable maze of paintings for our fans to wander through at the opening event.

And what a lovely evening it was. The speaker was Tayla Hollanby, curator and exhibitions manager at the Norval Foundation. Before having a leisurely browse through the paintings and sculptures on show, Tayla opened the exhibition with a well-informed, warm and welcoming speech. Thank you Tayla.

Thanks must also go to all our council members who worked hard to get the exhibition organised. Especially to Ingrid, our exhibitions coordinator and her team……and Avril for keeping us all going with food and drinks throughout the day and into the evening.
