2026  Autumn Exhibition September 17th to October 6th at The Hart Centre, Fleet

The exhibition was again a two-part exhibition, two ten-day periods, with some members exhibiting in the first 10 days and others in the final 10 days, and some who wished to exhibit in both periods.  Because the unit we had was significantly bigger than last time, members were able to show up to five hung works this time, with space also for 3-D works (glassware. coasters and similar).  By general agreement, the two-part format worked well and the extra space made the exhibition more enjoyable and interesting.

​

Sales were over £5,000, almost equal to the last exhibition, which, given that the last one was in the summer holiday period with much higher visitor numbers, was a very satisfactory result.  The Phyllis Tuckwell raffle takings were actually higher that last time, and with  the addition of commission on members' sales and a contribution from Fleet Art Society funds, we are very pleased to advise that the total we will be donating to Phyllis Tuckwell from this exhibition will be £1,600.

Thanks are due to the  artists who exhibited, to members of the public, and to Alan Stoney and the many people (committee members and helpers - they know who they are) who worked hard to make this exhibition such a success.  Thanks are also due to the management and staff of the Hart Centre for once again allowing us to use their retail unit for our exhibition. ​

​

The winner of 'My Favourite Painting' in Part One of the exhibition, as voted for by visitors, was Joe Lindsey-Clark with 'Over Farnham Park'. In second place was Maggie Richmond with 'London After the Rain'.  Many visitors commented on how difficult it was to choose a favourite and most artists received at least one vote.

In Part Two Jules Routledge was the winner, with 'The Prowl' and in second place was Noel Kendall's 'Tidal Chaos'.  DS
