[BAS Newsletter] ***Friday 10th June 7pm Live at Ripley Art Centre + + ***

[Paul Stringfellow]

Dear members,

*You are invited to our first live face to face Friday event for around 
two years 7pm at :*

The Music room and Gardens of*
*

Ripley Arts Centre
24 Sundridge Avenue
Bromley
BR1 2PX

I have received your R.S.V.P.'s so please just turn up if you wish to 
come along. You are most welcome to bring along a guest but we do ask 
they contribute a £5.00 donation. In the spirit of our times any 
Ukrainian artist friends will be free.

This year is our 75th anniversary so we decided to have an event 
comprised wholly of members and friends. Bromley Art Society was formed 
in 1947 to bring together local painters and sculptors, art teachers and 
students, and all who share an appreciation of the fine arts. It is in 
that spirit that this Friday we have three of our own members giving 
talks and demonstrations in what we call a four corners event. The past 
two years have been difficult in keeping our society going so please 
come along if you can and renew your support.

The idea is that there will be four tables set up for different 
demonstrations.  The 4th table will contain unusual artists aids or 
"paraphernalia" that people can try out.. so if you have something 
unusual yourself and willing to bring it along please do so.

We have:

Jo Harvey giving a talk and demonstrating Batik,

Colin Barnett demonstrating charcoal and chalks and

Richard Waldron demonstrating the projection techniques for realistic 
images.

Each of the talks / demonstrations will start simultaneously with an 
audience hopefully each of 6 - 7  people and expected to last about 
20mins. Members will then be invited to move onto the next table and 
demonstration when ready.  If all goes well there will be a break after 
two demonstrations where refreshments will be available with access the 
garden as well as the Music room were we can all mingle. We expect to 
conclude shortly after 9pm.

David Goodier our very own camera man and projectionist will be taking 
images of the demonstrations during the evening.

Biscuits, tea, coffee and fruit juices will be provided but you are 
welcome to bring your own refreshments. To save on washing up, 
disposable cups and plates will be provided but you are welcome to bring 
your own personal cup or mug. Glasses and cups and saucers will also be 
available from the kitchen if preferred but please wash, dry and put 
them away if you use them.

I look very much forward to meeting you all in person.

*Art Matters Friday 24th June.*

With the arrival of summer and the start of exhibitions and other 
diversions Deborah and I would like to take a break from our Art 
Matters. This special "Trees in motion" art matters will be our last 
until we plan to return in September when the cooler weather and darker 
evenings return.

More to follow on this Art Matters but the idea is to show you a moving 
image of trees for you to creatively form an image to share in real 
time.  As always "homework free" images and discussions welcome.

Kind regards,

Paul
