The Society's April illustrated talk will be given by James Taylor on 'The Art of Exploration'. He will tell us about the artists Buchan, Hodges, Parkinson and Webber who travelled with Captain Cook and who created some of the most striking images of Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific.
Please join us for this on Friday 3rd April at 8pm in Verrall Hall,
Bromley United Reformed Church, 20 Widmore Road, Bromley. BR1 1RY.
Non members are also welcome at these talks.
Penny Read, Parks Partnership Officer at Bromley Council, has invited members to submit works for an exhibition which is the finale of 'Celebrate Bromley 2008' and the launch of 'Creative Bromley 2009'. The exhibition will be at the Central Library, Bromley from 1st-15th April – so you need to get your skates on! See www.bromleyartsociety.org.uk/creativebromley2009 for details and please liaise with Ann Holdway.
Members who were not present at the last meeting will wish to congratulate Allan Davies for winning the Jack Hill Cup for services to the Society.
Allan beavers away at many things, but the most visible aspect of his work is The Easel, our lovely coffee table magazine. Why not celebrate his award by sending him pictures and articles for the next edition? Producing The Easel is a lot of work, which starts with chasing people for content, so give our Boyyo a hand. Past editions are reproduced on the website or you can browse all the cover pictures directly.
The best picture in every edition features on the front page and attracts a prize from our sponsors …
