Inspiration is what ArtsNorth members offered their visitors and each other. Inspiration in Mixed Media.
First of all on the Saturday, a good number of members turned up, got out their stuff and went to work so as to put on a show for any visitors. However the only visitor for the day was already there and, although very welcome, had departed before 'openers' and not another visitor was to be seen all afternoon. The team worked on undaunted, making art.

Sunday – again the troops took up positions. No visitors. More troops arrived. And so did a couple of visitors .. as it turns out, members of twenty years ago, interested in becoming actively involved! It doesn't get much better than that .. but it did - another visitor wanting to join us! Then yet another possible candidate!
That the efforts of members were rewarded was wonderful. That so many members tried so hard to make the event a success was inspiring. Do you agree?

The weekend was a lot of fun and members worked in various media and styles including still life (three different subjects - in charcoal, pastel and acrylic paint); fantasy drawing from the imagination in pencil; drawing animation in charcoal; oil and water colour portraits; acrylic landscapes and mark making in charcoal.
A great effort.
