52nd Art Exhibition 2024

Held at Council’s Marshlands Centre it was a step away from the beach and slap bang in the middle of the busiest part of town. The Exhibition of club members work was held from 10 Aug to 18 Aug 2024. It was a great success for all our members who put their exhibits in for the public to see, and buy! The local Mayor, Amrik Singh, gave out the Presidents Cup for his favourite piece, as well as various other trophies and cups for different categories (please see the Cups & Trophies page). Well done to those who managed to covet one!

The design of the Exhibition Boards this year gave the illusion of small rooms curated in subject areas. It allowed people to linger and explore over 255 plus exhibits with plenty of room for disabled people to roam. It covered paintings, drawings, sculptures, glassware, textiles, original works on cards, printed cards, prints, collage and art books. A fabulous variety that would have been hard for any discerning viewer not to like.

We had a fully equiped children’s room. Younger visitors could pick their favourite picture and draw/paint it and enter a competition. There were art boards showing members work created at our get together at Monday Club in the afternoon (see Monday Club page for details). Many members of the public commented on how professional the exhibits were and to such a high standard.
