We finally made it!

After many weeks of preperation, we began the first of four outdoor exhibitions on Southport's Lord Street bandstand! The weather was fine, dry and sunny and we had a great response from the passing public, and four of us enjoyed sales. This is Ray Scobie's work... with Pete relaxing at the right of the picture with a coffee...

Yvonne's work

Yvonne also enjoyed a sale, so we got off to a promising start.

we've made a start!

We finally made a start with displaying and selling art on the Lord Street bandstand on Sunday. This is the first of a 4 week trial period and, thankfully, the weather was dry. We certainly had a lot of passing interest and out of the seven exhibiting, four artists sold work, so an encouraging start. Hopefully we will learn and develop week by week. Those of you who have contacted me; you're on the waiting list, but do come along and visit us and have a chat. Will be putting up photos of the day as soon as I get them, so keep checking.

we start this weekend, 18th May!

Our application to hold a series of art exhibitions on the Lord Street bandstand, Southport, has finally been accepted and we start this weekend, Sunday the 18th, between 11 am and late afternoon. This is a trial period, for the next four weeks, and if successful we'll continue each Sunday through the summer, weather permitting.
