ARTS CLUB OPEN

Arts Club Open

I am pleased to announce the first ever Arts Club Open Opens Thursday 17th August until Monday 28th August. This spans the Aldeburgh Carnival and bank holiday weekend so is a great time to show art in Aldeburgh.

This new and exciting exhibition will be on all three floors of the Lookout and is free of charge to all paid-up members of the Arts Club Aldeburgh Beach.

Each member can hang one picture of their own choice, medium size. Or if a writer or poet can present a piece of poetry or writing.

The works can be for sale and the Lookout takes 50% commission which reduces to 20% if you take a turn manning the show. If you’d like to exhibit contact me.
