JANUARY 2017 | Local interest
At the end of October we mount our Annual Exhibition in the Henfield Hall which you may have seen, where we display the work we have produced during the year. We also participate in the Henfield Festival of Gardens & Art in June. A Christmas party rounds off the bill so as you can see we are busy all year round. We meet in the Garden Room, The Henfield Hall, Coopers Way, Henfield BN5 9DB, so if you would like to join us please come along as a visitor to one of our Tuesday evening demonstrations and see what it’s like (cost £3). New members are very welcome – whether you are just starting out or are already a seasoned artist. The annual subscription is great value at £35 and full details can be found on our website: www.henfieldartclub.co.uk , or contact Club Chairman Kenneth McIntosh on 01273 965243.
