Tickets cost just seven pounds and are available from " Frameworks " in the High Street, Hailsham, through any HPS Member or alternatively can be reserved via the "contact us" link on the Society website ( www.hailshamphotographicsociety.co.uk). Raffle tickets will be available to purchase prior to each show with a number of fantastic prizes. Ticket sales will go towards this year's chosen Charity which is the Children's Respite Trust - a Charity which supports families with disabled children across Sussex and Kent through the provision of respite care. The Civic Community Hall is conveniently situated adjacent to the Wealden District Council Offices and Lagoon Leisure Centre in Hailsham where there is ample free parking available. Everybody is invited and welcome to attend the Colour Show for what is sure to be an enjoyable and entertaining event in addition to supporting a very worthwhile local Charity. Summer Art Exhibition 1st June 2024
Uckfield Art Group’s Summer Exhibition is on Saturday 1st June. Doors open 10am - 4pm. Visitors will be able to enjoy a varied mixture of styles and medium including Acrylic, Watercolour, Pencil and Coloured Pencil. The Theme Corner this time will be Collage from the French meaning “To Glue”. Collage describes a technique of composing an art work by gluing a wide range of materials including pieces of paper, fabric, newspaper clippings or ready made objects to a surface. I find I am looking at pictures in magazines and newspapers differently now - noticing colour tone and texture and have been tearing out a collection ready to use. Apparently a constant tearing sound when you are trying to read is VERY annoying!! A few members have been dreaming about Collage and it has been their first waking thought so please come along and see what has been created and make it all worthwhile! Delicious home made refreshments will be on offer once again as will the “Have a Go Table” and a chance to chat to the “Artists In Action”. Vote for your favourite picture and the Artist with the most votes will win a Trophy to keep until the 16th November Exhibition (date for the diary)! Thank you everyone who has chosen to support Uckfield Art Group while playing the Wealden Community Lottery. The latest amount received from a 50% donation from ticket sales was £321.00. There is a top prize of £25,000! www.wealdencommunitylottery.co.uk Luxford Centre, Library Way, Uckfield, East Sussex TN22 1AR www.uckfieldartgroup85.com www.facebook.com/uckfieldartgroup Uckfield_Art_Group Fiona Flower |
