FROME FRIDAY PAINTERS
Frome Art Society members now have a new opportunity to meet, exchange ideas and work together or individually in a mutually supportive environment. Commencing Friday 20th September and initially running until 13th December, from 10 to 12am you are all welcome to join us at Frome Cricket Club for a free-form art session.
There will be a charge of £5 per session to cover hall hire charges and refreshments will be available.
There will be no set format and how these sessions run will undoubtedly evolve to reflect the interests of those involved. Please join us and create something new.
EXHIBITIONS
This year’s Spring Exhibition will take place in the Long Gallery at Black Swan Arts. This is proposed to be in May and June and final dates will be confirmed soon.
