Are there any Artists out there?

We were delighted to hear from local resident Susan Hartry who, unable to find a local Art group, has contacted us to help find some like-minded locals who may be interested in joining her to create one!

“For some time now I have been looking for a local Art Group to join within the various North Bristol Stokes communities. Patchway have a successful Art Group but it would appear, to my disappointment, that there is a lack of Community Art Groups, Clubs or Societies here – actually none at all.   So… if anyone else, like me, would like to have a Stokes Art Group to belong to, probably based in Bradley Stoke, then please, please, get in touch. If enough people show an interest a meeting can then be arranged to discuss further.

“In the short term it would be good to start with a group of practicing artists, but once established and within a short time to welcome beginners thus introducing the wider community to have a go at Art. Who knows, in the long term there could even be a Stokes Art Exhibition to show off all our master pieces!!

“If you wish to register an interest, please send an email to me at   [email protected]  stating    whether you are a Happy Amateur or Professional Artist. I will reply to each email to confirm receipt, and in a few weeks write again to all with news of whether the idea seems to be viable, or not, together with information on how we could take the idea further.”

If this sounds like something you would be interested in, why not make contact with Susan?   She is looking forward to hearing from you!
