109th Annual Clifton Arts Club exhibition

340 works of art were on display at the 109th Annual Clifton Arts Club exhibition held in the Undercroft of Victoria Methodist Church, Whiteladies Road, Clifton.  The exhibition featured paintings as well as the work of potters, sculptors in wood and stone, and producers of works in enamels, metal or glass.  Mr Ian Barnes, Chairman of the Club, escorted Mrs Peaches Golding OBE, Lord-Lieutenant for Bristol round the exhibition to view art displayed.  Peaches observed that 'members of the Arts Club encourage people to develop as artists.  We are fortunate as a City to have so many volunteers that are willing to give of their time to help hang works of art and staff the two week exhibition.  Everyone whose works have been displayed are to be congratulated.’  There are more than 200 members of the Clifton Arts Club, including many distinguished and experienced artists.  Over 600 works of art by professionals and amateurs were submitted to the selection panel for this year’s exhibition.  Photograph taken by Stuart Nurse.
