Artists and Pottery Group Annual Exhibition

A feature of the gallery year is the annual show by members of the Artists’ Society who are reminded that there has been a change of dates. Originally, this was scheduled to open in March but the new date is 27th May. So – quite an extension of time to complete that work and get it into Lysnar House by the last receiving day: May 13th.

The long association of artists and potters with the museum is one that goes back to the formation of both organisations. Local people often do not realise that a small but active society of artists was the driving force behind the establishment of a museum for the district, many decades ago. The rest, as they say, is history!

The Artists’ Society has a thriving membership and the annual show is an excellent opportunity to have work expertly hung in a spacious and well lit area for a month. Selection of works will again be in the hands of Mr Dick Calcott rather than a panel from the committee. Last year’s show was thoroughly representative of the wide variety of styles and techniques that this district produces and received a very positive response from the public.

Get those works finished; ensure you are a member of both Friends of the Museum and the Artists’ Society and submit! We look forward to seeing them.
