Site logo imageROYSTON ARTS SOCIETY

Exhibition success & half-price membership offer

Royston Arts Society held its Annual Autumn Exhibition in Royston Town Hall over the weekend of 29th September to 1st October as part of the Royston Arts Festival. From all points of view, the event was the most successful in a decade. We displayed a total of 330 paintings and 515 greeting cards created by 65 artists. Sales amounted to almost £4000 and two thirds of the exhibiting artists sold something.

  

The exhibition was very well received by the visitors and the favourite picture award was won by Tina Bone for her painting entitled “Blue and Gold Macaws and Swamp Hibiscus” (see picture).

Members of Royston Arts Society can enter paintings into both the Autumn exhibition and the Online Members’ exhibition plus the ongoing exhibition in Royston Library.

They can also attend painting sessions twice per month and an art demonstration given by a professional artist most months.

At the moment, new members can join RAS for half price; £12.00 for adults and £7.00. This membership will run until 31st March 2024 giving new members ample time to sample the art demonstrations and painting sessions; also to exhibit some work in Royston Library.

Artwork for 2020 All shipshape and added to Catalogue

I have just been updating my latest artwork to the website and my Artwork Catalogue to end 2020 and start afresh with a new website layout and shop in 2021 (hopefully!). The new website will have a much-needed “s” after its http! (Don’t worry about it if you do not understand that phrase—it is all automatic.)

I have just added the last Picture Profiles to the 2020 Gallery and all is now complete.

These are the four final paintings to be added for 2020. Two new and two rediscovered old ones from the 1980s (it is lovely that old works come to the fore and bring back memories—when I can remember that is!)

I hope you all had a lovely Christmas break and that your New Year celebrations will be calm and collected, and shared with some loved ones. Let us hope that 2021 sees us rid of this awful lockdown calamity. Best wishes to all: Tina Bone xxx
