FLEET
ART SOCIETY
Summer Exhibition, August 23rd - September 1st at The Hart Centre, Fleet
The exhibition at the Hart Shopping Centre was once again very well attended, with many commenting on the variety of styles and subject matter and skill of the artists. The exhibition also attracted the attention of some potential new members and we look forward to welcoming them to our meetings soon. Sales were good and 10% of proceeds will be donated to Phyllis Tuckwell Hospice along with the money raised in the raffle (see below). Visitors enjoyed voting for their 'Favourite Painting' but found choosing just one very difficult! The winning painting was 'Hee Haw' by Jodie Hunt (she was 2nd with 'Iggy' in the last exhibition!) Second was 'Evening Light' by Tony Yates, third was 'Low Tide at Fistral Bay' by Noel Kendall and fourth was 'Evening Glow' by Jenny Johnson. Fantastic paintings all!
Thank you to all the artists who took part and the Committee and other members who organised and set it all up.

Our charity - Phyllis Tuckwell Hospice
Many thanks to all Fleet Art Society members and our exhibition visitors - from our raffles and sales at exhibitions and demonstrations, we are very proud to have donated £2,000 to Phyllis Tuckwell. In the Spring our donation was matched by Phyllis Tuckwell Match Donors and grossed up to £4,000. On 20th May 2024 we received this note from the PT Fundraising Group:
Hi Fleet Art Society!
A huge thank you for this amazingly generous donation!
Phyllis Tuckwell Hospice Care
It's not our hospice, it's YOURS!
In the Summer Exhibition 2024 raffle the two lucky winners of John Lewis vouchers were: 1st prize, Victoria Crowe and 2nd prize, Theresa, who kindly donated her prize to Phyllis Tuckwell. The photo below shows one of our visitors picking out a winning ticket in front of the exhibition.
