Members recently marked the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee by doing a series of pictures taking the Queen’s reign as inspiration. About 35 members took part in the project, some contributing more than one picture. We are delighted that so many members wanted to join in. The majority are currently displayed as a montage in the window of Sapphire Kitchen in Birstall where they can be enjoyed by anyone passing by. It is the Society’s way of marking the event and giving back to the community, whilst promoting the group. All pictures relating to the project, including those that it was not possible to include in the montage, will be on show in the BADAS annual exhibition in November.
BADAS is a friendly group and there are currently some membership vacancies. As well as the monthly demonstration evenings, there are Friday morning painting sessions and an opportunity to sign up for Monday classes. The Society also runs trips, plein air sketching sessions and social events. As a member, you can also participate in the annual exhibition. If you are interested in joining, why not go along to one of the demonstration evenings? You can find more details on the website: www.BADAS.uk and leaflets are available in Sapphire Kitchen.
