Falkirk and District Art Club's annual exhibition proves a success
Members of Falkirk and District Art Club hosted their annual exhibition last week.
It was an opportunity for the group who meet regularly throughout the year to show the work of members at their usual home of Larbert Cross Church hall.
The event saw a varied display of quality pieces of art, ranging from wildlife and animals to still life, portraiture and landscapes.
The exhibition launched with a well attended preview evening on Wednesday, July 15 when attendees could chat with the artists and enjoy refreshments whilst having the first opportunity to browse the work on show.
As always there was an award for the President's Choice, where a guest judge is invited to choose their favourite piece. This year, Gillian Smith, curator at Callendar House, had the task of choosing her winner – a beautiful watercolour ‘Dreamscape’ by Stella McNab.
The exhibition was open to the public from Thursday, July 16 until Sunday, July 19 with organisers reporting fantastic attendance each day and many pieces sold.
The event’s annual raffle was also a success with the grand prize – a luxury hamper – going to local artist Jacqueline Marr.
As well as viewing the exhibits, visitors also had the opportunity to observe artists in residence at work each day.
The art club would like to thank all who attended the exhibition and supported the club throughout the event.
