“The members always come up with new and exciting artwork to display. It’s great to display emerging and established local artists in this space.”
While she never knows what they will display in the gallery, she says the work is always of a high standard.
“We will have some of our regular features, with Robyn Smaller displaying her quirky sculptures, Tony Rumball’s ‘delicious’ oil paintings and Maree Liddington with intricately woven fibre works. It’s rewarding to see so many new artists exhibiting at the gallery for the first time. The Stratford Art Society does wonders for supporting creatives in our region.”
The Stratford Art Society is inviting new members to sign up and is also looking for new people to join its executive organising committee.
Laura says the group wants to bring talented people together with artist talks, classes and workshops. There will be a floor talk with artists at the Gallery on Saturday, December 2.
“They run two exhibitions in this space a year, hold workshops for artists and also help local artists to develop their networks. Anyone can join the Stratford Art Society from around Taranaki. It’s a group that celebrates our local artists. It is a real pleasure to host them at our gallery.”
