The Autumn Exhibition of the Society took place in The Shire Hall, Monmouth, in October and was a great success.

Many people came to see the large and varied array of artwork produced by members. The paintings showed landscapes, still life, animals, portraits etc, in very different media. There was also a wider than usual display of ceramics – busts, pots, animals and more.

Paintings, both framed and unframed, and a number of ceramics were sold. The hand made art greetings cards were particularly popular.

Most of the visitors chose one or more of the artworks as their favourite(s) and then voted for Best in Show.

The winner was Dianne Dawkins with her portrayal of ‘Pachyderm Pals’, which showed a beautifully represented group of elephants.
