The Friends of Fowlmere School's 5th Art Exhibition will take place from 16th -18th May 2003. Previous exhibitions have been extremely well attended and much admired by many people from in and well beyond Fowlmere. Last year's exhibition raised a record £1,845, contributing to a total of more than £5,400 raised over the last 4 years, which will go towards the School's exciting building development project, due to start in August 2003.
The exhibition has a growing reputation, with more than 70 local artists exhibiting over 260 pictures last year, all of which were of a very high standard and in much demand by many of the 450 visitors who came. Some pictures could have been sold several times over! An added feature is a parallel exhibition of delightful paintings by the pupils at Fowlmere School, which always attracts interest from the press. The variety and quality of the work is stunning, and the relaxing atmosphere that surrounds the display provides a pleasant half hour escape from weekend chores for many visitors. We are looking forward to an equally impressive display of local talent this year, and would like to welcome even more visitors. If you haven't been before, do come along and bring some friends. Although many of the pictures are very reasonably priced, there is no obligation to buy. Just come, have a cup of tea and a piece of cake and enjoy a delightful collection of work.
If anyone in the Village would like to exhibit, or has an artist friend who would be interested, or if you would simply like to know more about this year's exhibition, please contact Lois Nolasco on 208442.
