Bags of Art

Very successful raffles held at each monthly lecture enabled The Arts Society Taunton to distribute 100 bags filled with art materials to the children of families currently using Taunton Foodbank’s critical services.  Filled with a colourful variety of materials including pencils, card, watercolour paints, brushes and a sketch book, they were designed to inspire and bring joy to the children.

HERITAGE WORK AT LYTHAM HALL PRESERVING HISTORY THROUGH DEDICATION

Lytham Hall, an exquisite Grade I listed Georgian house designed by John Carr of York, stands as a testament to 18th-century architectural elegance. Completed in 1754 and once home to the Clifton family for over two centuries, this historic house has been lovingly restored under the care of the Lytham Town Trust. Today, it offers visitors a glimpse into its storied past, with rooms furnished to reflect its rich heritage, including notable pieces of Gillow furniture.

TAS Wessex Area AVR’s meeting with Society Chairs Friday 1st November 2024

Usually the Wessex Area AVR’s meet in Salisbury once a year to share and celebrate the different projects that we have instigated and developed each year. However, in this year we decided to amalgamate this meeting with the Wessex Area Chairs Day and look in depth at Volunteering as one of the strengths and purposes of the Wessex Area. With a number of new chairs and committee members it seemed a good time to look our purpose, why we volunteer, who we support and where our funds come from.

Farley Arts Awards and Young Artists Exhibition

Our Programme Secretary Peggy Hooton, writes “Recently we (The Arts Society Uckfield, Lewes and Newick) supported the Farley House Schools’ exhibition with a small donation and, separately, we are developing an Arts Bytes link with Uckfield College.  I met Bethan Archer, Curriculum Lead of Art at Uckfield College recently, to discuss the latter but she also mentioned that her sixth formers have paintings in the current Farley exhibition!”

Bethan has kindly taken the time to write about this biennial exhibition and its benefit to her pupils and to share some of their art.
