Art Exhibition & Sale - Herts Open Studios 2012

I have been sent this press release from HVA (Herts Visual Arts) This weekend, 1st & 2nd September, as a taster to the Open Studios there will be an Art Exhibition & Sale at Harpenden Public Halls

Don’t you just love wandering round exhibitions? That feeling of expectation as you enter. Then perhaps love at first sight with an original painting. Or that eureka moment when you find the perfect gift. If so, come and see local artists and designer-makers exhibiting a wealth of inspiration at the Art Exhibition & Sale at Harpenden Public Halls on 1st & 2nd September 2012.

Herts Visual Arts Members - who range from professionals to passionate amateurs - will be showcasing their high-calibre, affordable art work. In addition to oils and watercolours you will find sculpture, jewellery, textiles, printmaking, glass, photography and ceramics on sale. Something for everyone !

The event will be stewarded by members, happy to answer any questions visitors may have about the artists, or Herts Visual Arts – Hertfordshire’s largest arts organisation.
Students from Sir John Lawes School will be selling teas, coffees and cakes as part of their programme of fundraising activities towards a 4-week World Challenge in August 2013 (www.world-challenge.co.uk).

Location: Dates: Opening Hours:

Harpenden Public Halls, Southdown Road, Harpenden AL5 1PD Saturday 1st & Sunday 2nd September 2012

The exhibition launches the Herts Open Studios season - this year running from 8th - 30th September. Artists across the county open their studios once again to invite the public to see art in action. It’s a great opportunity to interact with the artists, talk about their work and inspiration and buy or commission work from them.
