Bromley Art Society Bringing Artists Together since 1947

I haven’t attended this event for a few years and overall I was dissappointed as there isn’t much art exhibited any more or art related items. Previously there were usually three exhibitions of Art on display, SAA annual competion winners and runners up, The Third Age and Foot and Mouth artists. This year just the SAA.

Maybe it’s because I had not been recently that I hadn’t realised that so much was given over to card making, crafts and Manga-Japanese comic characters. I also was not aware that they now publish three magazines to cover art, card
making and scrapbooking! That speaks volumes. I checked out the workshops and of the nine painting workshops four were being given by the same artist, Elda Abramson, and to me that also says a lot.

I guess if you haven’t visited before or want to attend a workshop or pick up tips from demonstrators or exhibition special offers - some half price - learn about picture framing and printing on a computer, it might still be worth the trip. 
What I wanted wasn’t available so I will be making a trip to Brick Lane. I did pick a couple of Christmas presents for the grandchildren.

I went for the first time, I too was dissappointed - too much art and craft supplies,
not enough art or craft. Ed.
