Winter Exhibition December 2023 at The Hart Centre, Fleet
Once again our exhibition at the Hart Shopping Centre looked fantastic and was a great success. We calculate that we had in the region of 700 visitors in 5 days, and sales of over £2000. 10% of proceeds will be donated to Phyllis Tuckwell Hospice along with the money raised in the raffle. We also had our usual 'Favourite Painting' vote for visitors. The winning painting was 'Alton Woodlands' by Joe Lindsey-Clarke (seen below painting 'in house' on a busy morning) and in second place was 'On the Wing' by Jenny Johnson. Well done both!
Thank you to all the artists who took part and the Committee and other members who organised and set it all up.

Cheque presented to Phyllis Tuckwell Hospice
A cheque for £1000 was presented by David Sprot, Fleet Art Society's Chairman, to Charli Quay-Barnham, Fundraising Manager for Phyllis Tuckwell at our Annual General Meeting 2023. The money was raised from a percentage of the sale of paintings at Pop-Ups and a raffle at the Summer Exhibition.
Monthly Painting Competition April 2024
The subject this month was 'Portraits' and there was a very good display of paintings in different media to choose from. The winner was Wendy Horne and the runner-up was Elva Peacock. Congratulations to them both! They are shown here with their fabulous paintings, receiving gift tokens from our guest artist, Rodney Kingston.
