Birstall and District Art Society

On 20 July, Birstall and District Art Society members held a 30th anniversary celebration at Syston Rugby Club.
Over 80 members, family and friends enjoyed a delicious afternoon tea and reminiscences.
Previous exhibition catalogues and photographs of past celebrations were on display for everyone to peruse, and member Bill Benbow had produced a 30th anniversary publication, containing a foreword by Rita Cowham who is a founder member. Here’s to the next 30 years!
Forthcoming demonstrations, held at the Palmer Tomkinson Centre at Cedars Academy in Birstall are as follows:
Tuesday 9th September, the society welcomes local Barrow artist Chris Bates who will share a talk with demonstrations on ‘Drawing to Digital and Back’.
Tuesday 14th October, Kate Wrigglesworth will provide a demonstration on a mythical theme in gouache.
Tuesday 14th November, Carole Baker will share ‘Adventures in Acrylics’.
All demonstrations start at 6.45pm and are open to guests for a fee of £5.
BADAS hold painting sessions on Friday mornings at the Co-op Sports & Social Club in Birstall and on Wednesday evenings at the Church Hall at Wanlip.
