West Dartmoor Art Group Exhibition
Saturday, 22 July 2023 at 10:00 - 17:00
Daily Saturday 22 - Saturday 29 July 2023
West Dartmoor Art Group (WDAG) proudly invite you to its 21stth Exhibition and sale of original works of art at affordable prices. Only interrupted by the Covid pandemic in 2020 when restrictions made cancellation necessary, the group has been holding this very popular event annually in July since its foundation in 2003 and looks forward to welcoming visitors, friends and neighbours old and new again this year. All our friends enjoy seeing original paintings from our established local talent together with new and exciting pictures from new members. Once again, as well as the great exhibition of work on display, they can look forward to mouth-watering homemade cakes and hot and cold drinks being available between 10.30 a.m. and 4 p.m. They can sit and perhaps peruse the brochure for that special present. They will take time to choose their vote for their favourite picture, which will result in the painter being presented with a cup at the groups A.G.M. The painter is able to retain the cup for the year; their name engraved alongside previous winners. This vote is popular with the public and is avidly sought by the artists.
Celebrating its 21st exhibition, WDAG is proud to continue supporting 2 excellent local Charities, Donations are made to Dartmoor Rescue and Devon Air Ambulance with a percentage of its sales and the income from the popular raffle with prizes donated by WDAG members and local businesses. Pleased to have donated thousands of pounds over the last 23 years, WDAG are always amazed at the generosity demonstrated by visitors to the show in support of the wonderful life saving efforts of these two worthy charities.
WDAG meet in the Peter Tavy Village Hall weekly enjoying and getting inspiration at some demonstrations from professional artists, as well as support and advice from other members. The monthly in-house competition, on a wide range of topics, is a light hearted affair, where one is judged by one’s peers; but nevertheless, it gives focus to the interpretation of the subject and it is fiercely contested.
So, we invite friends old and new to join us in the Peter Tavy Village Hall, celebrating so many successful years of painting and exhibiting. We are open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. July 22ndth to 29thth 2023. ENTRY IS FREE so come along and enjoy our exhibition.
