Saturday the 24th April saw the Coterie Gallery playing host to members of the Original Monteney Art Group at a private viewing to the start to their exhibition which runs from the 23rd April to the 13th May.
The day was fine and warm with wall to wall sunshine giving an added bonus to the event not that this group needed it as it was an ideal opportunity for a social gathering, and to renew acquaintances not seen for some time as well as making new friends.
For those not in the know the Monteney At Group is a long established group who were originally based on the old Monteney School site, now long gone, hence their commitment to their roots by emphasizing themselves as the 'Original Monteny Art Group'.
Eventually they ended up at their present location situated at the Scout & Guide building on Salt Box Lane, Grenoside where they meet every Wednesday morning between 10.00-12.00pm, however somethings do not change and one of them is their mentor and tutor in the form of Artist Richard Clark who's commitment and skill has produced from the members some fine artwork and inspiration to higher things over the years.
All to often the work of local groups are sometimes hidden as is their work so it is pleasing that they can be afforded the same opportunity as professional artists with a full three week professional exhibition.
Some of the artwork is for sale at ridiculously low prices so this is a good opportunity to buy, however they will be pleased just for people to attend, see their work and leave comments.
