ANNUAL ART EXHIBITION - 8th - 11th November 2018

The Harpenden Arts Club celebrated its 60th Annual Art Exhibition in November at the Harpenden Public Halls, which was a sparkling success and great fun!

An amazing 68 artworks were sold, a 21% increase by number on last year. Total sales of artworks and greetings cards came in at just over £7,000, which is the best result for quite a few years.

The "Best in Show" public vote result was as follows:

1st place: "Cedar v.2" by Tracey Gent
2nd place: "Nomansland Common in Autumn" by Andrew Keenleyside
3rd place: "Trebarwith Strand, early morning light" by Sarah Poppleton

Here are the winning pictures:
