      The HeArt of Giving: finishing January

           HeArt Giving1 1

        This exhibition displays works from OAS members in various mediums.

      It  exhibits art created by members during the year, and has become a regular feature in our calendar, following the same popular format as previous years. 

      Unlike other exhibitions, works are taken away at the time of purchase and can be replaced by other artworks, so it is an ever-changing exhibition, well worth more than one visit.

      This is an annual event and is open to all members of the public.

Come and engage them in conversation, ask them questions, comment on their work. There will be artists working in a variety of mediums.

      It will be open to public from 10am to 4pm.
