Seasons Greetings

It is hard to believe that another year has passed. The Arts Council has had another very successful year starting with Austen Deans exhibition that was extremely well received and ending the year of exhibitions with the present exhibition of three West Coast artists. It is an exhibition not to be missed. With Alison Hales horse paintings full of movement and life, and Juergen Schacke’s photographs that show his wonderful understanding of the West Coast both complimented by potter Chris Lewis with his unique sculptural forms using wood firing there is something for all to appreciate.
Remember the gallery is now open right through December and January with a wide range of artwork, ideal for gifts.
Five concerts were held throughout the year with The Sweet Adelines, the first being a sell out. 120 people thoroughly enjoyed the spirited performance. As it was so popular a Sweet Adelines concert is planned for 2010. If you missed it this year make sure you buy your tickets early next year.
