For the fourth successive year HAS is inviting members to show their work at the Maytime Fair at Xavier College. Large crowds attend the Fair and the exhibition venue is an attractive and spacious setting. Eva Miller is coordinating the show and encourages all members to get involved. The total number of framed paintings submitted and the space available will determine the final number of paintings that are hung.
Members may submit framed work ( paintings on stretched canvas count as framed work). Members may also submit unframed work which is suitably mounted and not larger than 400mm x 400mm.
Based on previous experience, members can submit two paintings as well as three unframed pictures. Although the majority of Maytime Fair activities will be held on Saturday 4 May, some activities may occur on the 3 May in the Exhibition venue.
This is another exciting opportunity, so do not hesitate to contact:
Eva Miller 9818 4910, Julie Chiffy 9859 4525, or Richard Birmingham 9029 8622.
