ART & PHOTOGRAPHY EXHIBITION

Tuesday 15th to Saturday 19th July

2008 marks the 20th Art Exhibition in Somerton. The standard of entries last year was amazing, with every subject being tackled in a variety of media from oils to pastels – which goes to show how much talent we have in this part of the world. We confidently expect that this year will be just as rewarding. So, if you have never exhibited before and would like to enter a piece of art, entry is open to all.

Since 2001, photography has also been included, so if you’re a keen beginner or an established photographer and have taken a picture (film or digital) that pleases you, then have it framed and enter it!!

Entry forms (to be returned by Monday 8th July) are available from the London Cigarette Card Co shop in West Street or Margaret Somerville (tel 01458 274594) A charge of £1.00 will be made for each entry.

All visitors to the exhibition are asked to vote for their favourite in the two categories and there will also be the option to sell your work.

Last year we had an amazing 750 visitors (thought to be the most ever) to browse and take in the talents of local people. There were 193 exhibits and 21 were sold. We also had some 3D work such as pottery and wonderful embroidery, so if you have some hidden talents please feel free to share! So last year was, once again, a great success and many thanks are due to the artists and their friends who gave up their time to man the desk, help with building the stands and contributing to the smooth running of the event. We shall need volunteers again this year, so do please do your best to give a little time to help us out.

Entry to the exhibition is free and there will be refreshments available for a small donation.
