Bromley Art Society Bringing Artists Together since 1947

Ann Holdway and I have found a really lovely new place to exhibit, albeit a little way away from Bromley. It's called Bourne Hall and it's at Ewell. It's a modern building standing in beautiful grounds and has a beautiful exhibition area  right next to a cafe (cheap!), a library and a museum. We are allowed to do what we like while our paintings are there ie sell cards, have browsers, sketch and paint and generally do all the things we do at BEECHE but with a lot more space and a lot more people around. We have booked 2 weeks from 17 October. We're told everyone sells well there so it's worth the journey and here's hoping!

Also, I went to the framers, Mitchells, in Lewisham this week. They're helpful and charge very reasonable prices. I hadn't been there for a long time but I was greeted with enthusiasm and he ensured me that if people tell them that they belong to BAS they will always get a good deal. Chris Turner did an amazing Star Wars picture for my grandson which is enormous. It needs to be framed in perspex which is more expensive than glass. I had expert advice and was quoted an excellent price.
