DIARY
We have an 'exciting' year, beginning with the exhibition at the Herbert Art Gallery. There are more artists from CWSA taking part in this exhibition than any other society. I have seen the exhibition as it was being hung - and it is fantastic. A bit like (better) than the Summer Exhibition in the Royal Academy. The standard of work is amazing and diverse. WOW.
125 artists applied from 10 different Coventry & Warwickshire art groups and societies, Approximately 275 works are being displayed in the large gallery (above Dippy the Dinosaur).
We owe a huge thankyou to Kirstie (and Harriet) at the Herbert who have worked tirelessly to get this exhibition up and hung. The cost to the Herbert was approx £5,000.
Our last one was 2019. We should have 'launched' City of Culture at the Herbert, but due to Covid it was cancelled.
For the Spring and Summer, we are organising three smaller 'pop-up' exhibitions for 7+ artists to team up together, plus a 'large' weekend exhibition at the new Burton Green Village Hall.
During the summer, when the weather is good, there will be impromptu outdoor painting days, and In the autumn, demonstration workshops. There is also a series of Saturday Workshops at the Herbert during February, being organised by our members. Contact the Herbert to book.
If you have any suggestions about other events you think your committee could organise, please let us know.
 
Kind regards
