Bromley Art Society Bringing Artists Together since 1947

I thought you might like to know that we made £248.90 in sales of paintings, cards, mosaics etc at BEECHE this weekend. We also made £52.30 in "hanging fees". The first figure is credible - I don't quite know how we made £52.30 at £3.00 per person! Both figures broke our previous records for BEECHE events.

The reason for this is quite clear - we had a fantastic turnout of artists with a huge variety of works. Once again everyone had fun, painting, chatting in the sunshine and eating chocolate cake and bacon sandwiches. Having the artists "working" there and enjoying themselves clearly brings the audience / customers in.

The other key to our success is advertising - so please start making preparations for the next BAS@BEECHE event on the 12th and 13th June 2010 and get the date out to all your friends, neighbours, colleagues and family.
