Online August Arts Meet with Writer Claire Williamson
Thursday 6th August 7:30pm to 9:30pm
After the success of the June Arts Meet online, we are running the session again this August so more members can take part in our North Somerset Arts Meet online. Writer Claire Williams will be joining us to lead a lively session on writing creatively to inspire your creative practice. Claire specialises in nurturing creative writing, both as craft and for wellbeing. Be inspired with an opportunity to reflect on your own artwork from a new perspective, using short, fun creative writing exercises and dialogue with other artists. This session may help you with your artist's statement, or self-promotion. Bring an image of your art to share, a notebook and pen. Register for free on Eventbrite and we will email you the Zoom link nearer the time. https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/august-art-meet-creative-reflections-with-poet-claire-williamson-tickets-113826227310

A1 Camera Club Virtual Exhibition 2020 - 1st to 31st August
During the month of August A1 Camera Club Weston-super-Mare will stage their annual exhibition. As with many other clubs this year’s event will be staged on line due to the current pandemic. There is no selection process for the exhibition and all members are encouraged to participate, which makes for an interesting and eclectic collection of work. Previous exhibitions have been assessed by an external judge to select the 'Best in Show' image and this year Ralph Snook ARPS, EFIAP/b, DPAGB, has kindly agreed to fulfil this task and his choice will be included on the exhibition page of the club’s website.
Members of the public are also invited to vote for their favourite image so that not only does the 'Best in Show’ receive an award, but the group award a trophy for the 'People’s choice' as well.
You can find the exhibition images on the club’s website by following this link - https://www.a1cameraclubweston.org/exhibition-2020
