On Wednesday evening several SAF members went along to the private view of the North Worcester Open Exhibition held at Artrix, Bromsgrove. There was an eclectic mix of works including pieces from members Maureen Toomey, Lisa Marie Thompson, Jackie Mackay and Paula Hamilton. At the Artrix there is not a gallery as such but the work is displayed on white walls and along the corridors. The venue can be booked and provides a good footfall since the site is also used for live performance shows as well as a cinema. New member Rita Fletcher has her own exhibition there in September.
Primitive MattersThe event was well attended and the work which received the 'best in show' award was Primitive Matters by Karen Mclean. An interesting piece and part of a body of work regarding living standards in the Caribbean and the resourcefulness of the people living in shacks or primitive huts. I am still using the nutmegs I bought a couple of years ago from one of those huts - I remember them being much brighter in colour and being a shorty I'm glad they weren't on stilts. The exhibition is on until Sunday 13th June so pop along. Jackie Mackay
