Entry 30 pence includes a programme and is free to accompanied children. Approximately 160 paintings in watercolour, oil, pastel, mixed media and sculpture will be on view and represent a year’s work by the group and compete for a range of awards. Most works will be for sale. All members are enthusiastic amateur artists living in Beccles and its surrounding villages.
This year, the names of prize winners of the first Frank Delf Memorial Competition will be announced and the awards presented by the Mayor, Brian Woodruff, at Friday’s private view evening.
The competition is for 13-18 yrs. and has been organised in conjunction with the Sir John Lemon High School. Frank Delf was a founder member of the Society in 1969. His son Christopher left a legacy in his father’s name to encourage and assist young artists, hence the competition. These paintings will also be on view from Saturday 30th July. The exhibition closes at 2pm on Saturday 6th August.
