Regular and irregular readers will have seen the Blogs regarding last year's Artex which help the Rotary Club of Ashburton?Buckfastleigh to raise funds for nominated charities.
Applications have already started arriving for the Rotary Club of Ashburton/Buckfastleigh’s 13th Annual Art Exhibition which will take place at the medieval Guest Hall at Buckfast Abbey.
The event takes place from Thursday 2nd August to Monday August 13th, 10am to 4.30pm daily (Sundays 12 noon to 4pm). Admission is free.
This year, the event will raise funds for Childrens Hospice South West; Dartmoor Search and Rescue Team (Ashburton) and Shelterbox plus other local charities supported by the Rotary Club of Ashburton/Buckfastleigh.
Last year, the Exhibition featured works by 80 Devon artists with over 320 pieces of art on show. More than 50 paintings were sold and the event raised nearly £5000 for the charities.
President Elect Philip Vogel said “ We hope to better last year’s record results, but this can only be achieved thanks to the generosity of the Abbot and management of the Abbey who very kindly give the Guest Hall to us each year free of charge. We are most grateful to them”.
If you are out and about in South Devon this August - when not attending one of the many Olympic events of your choice, come and view the paintings on offer - and you may just get yourself that special picture.
