Last Friday saw the launch of the Bennettsbridge Art Group, Summer Collection exhibition.
There was a good attendance at the event. In her welcoming address, Joan Cleere said it was great to be back again after an absence of three years. The event was tinged with sadness as the group lost a valued member, Patsy, during the year.
Julie Moorhouse, tutor and friend to the Bennettsbridge group opened the exhibition. Julie said she was proud to be a member of this special band of women and man and although Covid had made things hard at times they had battled on and produced a very fine exhibition. READ MORE BELOW

And last but not least, Joan thanked all her fellow artists for their hard work in getting the exhibition together under the guidance of tutor, Julie.
