Dear Members of Eynsham Arts Group

Carterton Lions Club intends holding an Art Exhibition, in the new Carterton Community Centre from the 17th to the 21st February 2010.

As this is an open exhibition it is hoped that many artists will submit work. This may be in any medium, except photography, either framed or unframed, but preferably work completed in the last three years

We are hoping to display the talent of artists from Oxfordshire and nearby areas.
I should be delighted if your members would consider submitting their work and supporting the event. Perhaps you would be kind enough to bring this to their
attention and also include the dates in your next programme.

Details and entry forms may be obtained by contacting the organiser, Michael Lowe, mlandjd@tiscali.co.uk 01993 842354. Alternatively you may like to e-mail me at maddy@johnradburn.org.uk. We do hope to hear from you and any colleagues who may be interested.

Yours sincerely

Wanted: Drawing of Swinford Lock

The Art Group has been asked if we’d like to supply a drawing of the Swinford Lock to be printed on an Apron which will then be sold to raise money for the church hall. The apron will have several images on it, the toll bridge image shown here is one of the other ones, so the style of the artwork needs to be similar to this.

The image should be black and white only (ink), A4 in size/proportions and landscape/horizontal.

Images need to be ready by the end of July and delivered to Doreen Hockedy 22 Clover Place, Eynsham (01865 880919) A ‘winning’ design will then be selected.

If several Group members want to drive down to the lock to do some drawing on site you’ll need to call Nick the lockkeeper (01865 881324) and Mr & Mrs Sayle (01865 882949) who own the house at the top of the driveway that leads down to the lock…they’ll unlock the gates for you to get in.

If you require any further information please contact Doreen.
