There is no charge for entry to the Art Exhibitions but we do encourage visitors to donate to support the Mayor of Eastbourne's charities.
The Society of Eastbourne Artists staged an excellent art exhibition on May 25th, 26th and 27th at the Town Hall Eastbourne. Madam Mayor Candy Vaughn officially opened the exhibition and commented on how excited she was at the quality of the paintings for sale. She chose Louise Crowley's painting of Roseberry Avenue, London to receive the Mayor's Challenge Cup as she felt the artist really successfully portrayed the reflections. For the Runner Up she found it a difficult task and eventually decided on Anne Claude Downs painting of Cyril the Squirrel. Will Carter's painting of Hetty was highly commended by her. There were more than 170 paintings and around 60 unframed portfolios exhibited. The exhibition was attended by around 600 visitors over the three days.
A percentage of sales, raffle proceeds and donations totalling £420 were collected for the Mayor’s charities which are the Chasely Trust and the Leaf Hall Disability Access Fund.
The Herald Trophy was won by Jackie Steggall for her painting Looking Towards Coastguard Cottages and there were certificates awarded for Highly Commended in Portrait – Pauline Birdsall, Animal,/Bird – Sylvia Huggair, Abstract – Liz Purkis, Landscape – Lou Crowley and Still Life /Floral - Annalynn Cooke and Rona Cruisey
The Andrew Forrest Memorial Trophy was won by Annalynn Cooke for her Bird of Paradise painting
The next exhibition will be held on 2nd 3rd November at the Cavendish Hotel on Grand Parade
