The Picturemakers

Dear Art Lovers

I enclose the invitation for the opening of the latest exhibition by the Mid Wales artists group:
The Picturemakers at Oriel Cambria Gallery, Tregaron on Saturday 11.10.08 at 2 pm. Spread the word!





THIS WILL BE THE SECOND LAST SHOW IN THE GALLERY BEFORE IT CLOSES AFTER XMAS AS THE DIRECTORS OF CAMBRIA ARTS HAVE DECIDED TO STOP THE CHARITY FOR REASONS THAT HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE GALLERY WHICH IS A SUCCESS STORY AND DOING WELL!

Many of us are anxious therefore to try and keep this art facility in the community before it is too late. There is a very good chance it could be saved BUT YOU NEED TO ACT NOW : if you are interested to find out more please e mail Jill Nicholls at jillian.nicholls@Sky.com or telephone 01970 299004. (If you cannot make contact then contact me and I will pass on your details to Jill )

Best wishes
