This year's 43rd Art Show was heralded a great success by visitors with many saying it was one of the best. The standard was high across an impressive range of media from traditional oils and watercolours to silk paintings, machine embroidery, linocuts and collages. One artist had replaced canvas with hand saws for her oil paintings!
Everyone was asked to vote for their favourite picture and Bury St Edmunds artist Andrew Harrington was chosen with his painting 'Blue Horizons'.
There were over 200 pieces of art on display from 70 different artists.
Martin Hayman won the raffle, 'Blue Boat at Thorpeness', painted by Woolpit artist Jeanette Martin.
Art sales were similar to last year and sales of greeting cards and prints were up. The teas continue to make a great contribution thanks to our magnificent bakers. All in all, a wonderful community event that raised around £2,000 to be shared between Tostock Village Hall and St Andrew's Church.
We would like to thank the many people who helped, both in the preparation and throughout the weekend, and all our visitors. It would not happen without you.
