Annual Summer Show of the Guild

“Sunlight over Breydon Water“  by Alan Lavender and “New Pastures -Brown Hare” ceramic by Steve Oatley 

The Annual Exhibition of The Great Yarmouth Guild of Artists and Craftsmen is currently showing in the  Exhibition Galleries at Great Yarmouth Central library.  The exhibition runs until Saturday 31st July, 2010.  It is a lively exhibition, showing 159 works in different media by 40 members.  Barrie Woods, who serves on the Committee of the Guild, says that the Guild is going from strength to strength thanks to its initiative in setting up a gallery in one of retail units in Victoria Arcade to showcase the work of its members.  There have been over 8,000 visitors since the gallery opened and the Arcade management team have been very supportive as the gallery has contributed towards the regeneration of  the Arcade.  The initiative has also encouraged new members, with the result that membership is currently at its maximum of 80, so that application for membership is closed just for the moment.
