EXHIBITIONS AND AWARDS
Exhibitions 2021
Exhibitions will be added when known. Due to Covid-19 many have either been cancelled or moved online. Here I list those I've submitted to so far. For past exhibitions, please see below.
21-23 May: OPEN - please ring the number on the flyer to ensure you can book a visit in safety.
These exhibitions are usually held twice a year and have a superb selection of art on display, including prints and cards, within the organiser's own home. The exhibition includes some well known artists as well as others and works are on sale at very reasonable prices.
