2025 Easter Exhibition which was held at Newton & Noss Village Hall
We hope everyone had a very Happy Easter and whether exhibiting or not we hope many of you managed to visit our exhibition. We were very
fortunate to enjoy some reasonable weather, and the exhibition was very well attended with almost 600 visitors, resulting in a good number of sales.
There were 114 hung paintings plus 44 browsers from
which 24 paintings and 18 browsers were sold.
