Saturday morning in the village Green in new Brighton.
The gallery was very busy this morning. Over 120 visitors before 1pm. Music, balloon animals, princess dresses and pampered pooches. Very festive and relaxed!

Last day for our February exhibition tomorrow. Could be a chaotic day with the bay-to-bay race finishing in Thomson park at 4pm. there are road closures. They wouldn't tell us which roads...

We are back in the Village green next month, 9th to the 15th. We will be having a drawing workshop on Saturday. Possibly one on a weekday as well if there is interest.
Learn to draw if you don't already know how. It's easy.

The duke festival is the following week. They have booked the entire Village Green.
