Last Friday a great number of members came to the Halifax Art Society’s AGM. The short and efficient official part was followed by an extended coffee break. Then we enjoyed a superb Powerpoint presentation by Lynne Hickin about last year’s sessions and events evoking quite a few memories.
Last Friday the Halifax Art Society attempted Brian’s challenge to paint a floral bouquet. Six paintings will later go on display for a year at Overgate Hospice, but they will not be for sale. Our Spring Exhibition in Hebden Bridge has now finished with three paintings sold. Not many of our Sunflower canvases sold, but we will keep advertising them and will hopefully have another venue soon to sell them.
Halifax Art Society members are often inspired by the artists who visit to demonstrate their skills and after a visit by pastel artist Sue Smith, Lynne Hickin was inspired to use her pastels.
You may recognise the subject as’ Another Place’ by Anthony Gormley at Crosby Beach which we visited in September 2016.
“INSPIRATION is the title of our next exhibition at the Hebden Bridge Visitor Centre. and runs from 1st – 30th September. The centre is open daily 10:00-17:00.
Halifax Art Society’s exhibition is being held at the Dean Clough Gallery for the first time. Together with the exhibition of Leeds Fine Artists and amazing work by Midgley Primary School students it is certainly worth a visit.
