<p>Dear members,</p>
<p><b>You are invited to our first live face to face Friday event
for around two years 7pm at :</b></p>
<p>The Music room and Gardens of<b><br>
</b></p>
<p> Ripley Arts Centre<br>
24 Sundridge Avenue<br>
Bromley<br>
BR1 2PX</p>
<p>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. </p>
<p>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.<br>
</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>We have:</p>
<p> Jo Harvey giving a talk and demonstrating Batik,</p>
<p> Colin Barnett demonstrating charcoal and chalks and <br>
</p>
<p>Richard Waldron demonstrating the projection techniques for
realistic images.<br>
</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>David Goodier our very own camera man and projectionist will be
taking images of the demonstrations during the evening.<br>
</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>I look very much forward to meeting you all in person.</p>

<p><b>Art Matters Friday 24th June.</b></p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.<br>
</p>
<p>Kind regards,</p>
<p>Paul<br>
