Now then!
Regular visitors will know that I and a couple of others from our local group joined Goole Art Society towards the end of last year. It's a very friendly group of some 22 or so members, covering all mediums, levels of ability and styles. My Monday nights are a real pleasure, and the 15 odd mile drive across there with Phil quickly passes as we put our art world to rights.
Over the last year there has been an influx of members. We are currently having to use a bigger room at the town's College as we slowly start to become a little more established. We already hold an exhibition above the town's Library in the Museum around November time, and are regulars at the Hobbies Exhibition at the town's Leisure Centre in Spring, and of course, don't forget the Society's own Exhibition aboard Barge 58 at the Yorkshire Waterways Museum in Goole which we have recently held.
What one of our members has now done is to start a Facebook page which we hope will help attract some interest and possibly a few new members too. Please go and have a look - even if you just tick the 'Like' box it apparently helps us. Go have a look at some of the 'works in progress' as Julian takes photo's on his mobile and uploads them each week. Hopefully folks will be able to see the progress members make, and the very wide variety on offer.
Last Monday (24 June) was the last of the current year, as the college has closed for the school holidays. Seeing as we are in an educational building, I just hope there is no-one standing by the door, checking if we have done some sketching etc whilst we have been away come the start of the new academic year in September!
There is also the possibility of a website for the Society, but that will not appear until later in the year after the AGM to gauge members opinions.
I do hope you will find the time to pop and have a look if you are on Facebook, and please try and support us - after all, like many artists, we are a Comminuty Group who try and help and suport our local (and not so local) communities. Thank you.
Enjoy your art,
Paul
