Art Club
The Art Club meet from 10am - 12noon on Monday mornings in the large hall with accommodation for 25 members, and on Tuesdays in the small hall with accommodation for 20 members. We welcome artists of all abilities and hope that all our members continue to enjoy coming along each week to the club. Last year we were happy to welcome several new members who have integrated well and seem to have enjoyed themselves as much as the old hands.
Our emphasis is on friendship and fun while creating paintings of all shapes and sizes. For further information contact the secretary, Aileen Crosbie, e-mail aecrosbie@aol.com or telephone 0131 332 7066.
Exhibitions
Grateful thanks to those who supported our May exhibition, in aid of Edinburgh Cyrenians, which was the highlight of our year. We were proud to hand over £520 to help them carry forward their vision for a society that truly values and includes all, and their mission which is to empower those excluded from society to take charge of their lives and fufil their potential while working for social change.
In December we will be holding our Christmas exhibition in Blackhall Library from 13th December to 10th January and hope that you will come along and view our paintings.
