*_Pastel on velour workshop 18th September St George's Church Hall, 
Bickley_*

Following the success of our watercolour workshop provided by Nishad 
Karim we are planning a second workshop in September if people are 
interested.

This workshop will be conducted by Lee Moore who has excellent 
experience of teaching art within her own classes.  Lee will be showing 
one of her favourite techniques of how to create an animal portrait 
using pastels on velour. Materials will be provided.

The workshop will commence at 10am on Wednesday the 18th September and 
finish around 3.30 with a lunch break in between.

The cost will be £25.00 per person. Regular attendees of the Wednesday 
Art Session's, who have already contributed for the hire of the hall, 
need only pay £20 per person.

The workshop is open to all members and friends of members.

We need around 20 - 24 people to attend to make the workshop viable so 
*please let me know if you are interested a.s.a.p but no later than 
Tuesday 10th September.*

*_Future Exhibitions_*

Following the success of our St George's Church exhibition where over 
£2500 of artwork was sold we now have an experienced exhibition 
sub-committee who are working hard to find suitable venues for 
exhibitions going forward. If you know of any venues, within Bromley and 
neighbouring boroughs suitable for exhibiting please let us know by 
contacting *bromleyartsocietyevents at gmail.com.* The exhibition 
sub-committee will follow up and review all venues for suitability.

*_Online Art Matters_*

Numbers has declined recently but if you are interested in seeing this 
continued please let me know. We normally hold an online discussion / 
art challenge, once a month, on a Friday evening 7pm-8pm. We probably 
need around 10 people to attend Art Matters regularly to keep them 
worthwhile. Please let me know at *membership at bromleyartsociety.org.uk*. 
If enough people are interested our next Art Matters will be Friday 20th 
September on the theme of "Summer 24".

*_November and December's 1st Friday events at the Daylight Inn._*

We have the room booked but at the moment we do not have anything 
planned for 1st November or 6th December at the Daylight Inn. *If you 
have any ideas particularly for the December Christmas event please let 
me know at **membership at bromleyartsociety.org.uk*

Kind regards,

Paul*
