Artist of the Month Feature Goes Live

Our new feature “Artist of the Month” on our website kicks starts our 2023 year by going live. Each month we will bring one of our group to the fore showcasing examples of their work. Many of the paintings shown will be available for purchase.

Why have we created this feature? Winterbourne is a small village in South Gloucestershire. Each year during May, the group holds its annual public art exhibition. We appreciate not everyone who would like to come, can. Either they live too far away, have no transport means or our dates do not suit. This feature is but one way of bringing our work to the wider public, and to encourage not only new members to join us, but to inspire people to paint regardless of level and talent. Painting is fun, at times frustrating, but is a great way to forget your worries and a marvellous stress reliever.

A Successful 2022 Exhibition

Our Annual Art Exhibition was held over 3 days from 13th to 15th of May. With over 200 visitors viewing the paintings over the weekend. The Preview Evening was well attended both by members and partners, and invited guests.

Over 200 paintings were on show, out of which 62 were sold, making this far and away the largest number of purchases for several years, and reflecting the increasingly high standard of work on display.

This most successful of exhibitions also raised £1,500.00 for our chosen charity: The British Red Cross Ukraine Crisis Appeal.

Frome Valley Art Group members are deeply saddened by yesterday’s news regarding our beloved Queen Elizabeth II. God bless you, your Majesty, you will be sorely missed. RIP.

Despite this, it has been agreed our sessions will start the autumn term today, 9th September, as scheduled, in the spirit of Keep Calm and Carry On.
