ART EXHIBITION
Art Exhibition 2005

 

The Friends of St. Mary’s Church invite you to submit art works for their annual Art Exhibition.  All forms of visual art will be welcomed, e.g. photographs and three-dimensional art, such as pottery, sculpture, jewelry etc.; these must be original art works, with the exception of prints of original art works.

This years exhibition was a great success with huge thanks going out to Amanda Hibbert and her team. We were fortunate to welcome 74 artists and sold 48 items over the course of a busy, friendly weekend. Final figures are not to hand to date, but a profit in excess of £1,000 has been achieved.

The Art Exhibition

The art exhibition has been running since 1999, whilst Mrs Noreen Smith was both one of our committee members and in Whittlesey Arts. Since Noreen began the exhibition the Friends have carried on gaining more exhibitors with each year bringing a wealth of local paintings, drawings, photographs and sculpture together.

For every piece of art sold 10% of the price is donated to the Friends to spend on church renovations.
