Coterie Open review

Taking in two galleries the second 'Coterie Open' art exhibition opened with a preview for exhibitors, their family, friends and invited guests.
The exhibition has an eclectic mix of genres, and styles, including photography and textiles with a extra display of freestanding
textile work in gallery 'B'.
For many exhibitors this provided an opportunity to meet with other artists and exchange information on artistic styles and methods as well as providing a platform for further exhibitions.
During the course of the evening certificates and awards were presented with commended certificates and prizes awarded to Alan Jackson . Vicky Gray, and Joy Barnes. the highley commended award went to Loretta Cusworth for her painting 'Ghost Ship'

"Accessories"

The start of the Ulley Groups exhibition "Accessories" got off well with a good turn out at their preview on the Friday night.
Attended by many friends, colleagues and interested parties the evening proved to be enjoyable, and a launch pad heralding the start of this artistic interpretation of everyday objects.
As to be expected some nerves were evident as is usual when exposing work to the comments and scrutiny of our peers and public, but this is part of the agony as well as the ecstasy.
On the positive side this exhibition will no doubt be an incentive for members to continue to exhibit and produce fine art.
