Newsletter 1st August 2024

It seems like summer has finally decided to make an appearance in the UK.

It may last a day, it may last a week, but I am sure we will try to make the most of it!

Without further ado, please see what is happening at the Guildford Art Society and how

you can take part.

WHAT HAPPENED IN JULY

We had a great turnout for Joe Dowden’s watercolour demonstration - almost 50

attendees! -. Joe did a wonderful watercolour demonstration: from the initial drawing and

masking through to the final stages of painting water and reflections, we were able to

follow the creation of a beautiful work of art, gleaning helpful tips along the way.

Feedback from attendees was overwhelmingly positive, and we received a few

suggestions for artists to contact for future demonstrations. If there is an artist that you

would like to suggest, please do get in touch, and we will see what can be done!

Thanks to everyone who attended, and special thanks to Monica and Therese for

organizing another successful demonstration.

WHAT’S HAPPENING THIS MONTH

2024 - SUMMER EXHIBITION - 17th - 26th

August

At Shalford Village Hall

Our Summer Exhibition will be at Shalford

Village Hall from Saturday, 17th August to

Monday, 26th August.

If participating, please ensure you have sent

your stewarding times to Monica and

reviewed the rules on how to present your

artwork to avoid disappointment and stress on

the delivery day.

Delivery day: Friday, 16th August (please see

the rules form for your allocated time).

Make sure you tell everyone about the

Exhibition so it can be a huge success!

WHAT’S ON THE HORIZON

After the Summer Exhibition, we will have another chance to

show our work to the public and sell it at our Pop Up on the

14th of September during Heritage Weekend in Guildford. It will

take place at Holy Trinity Church.

Last year, we had so many visitors and made great sales!

We will also have one more demonstration and another Pop Up

in the following months.
