We are celebrating sixty years of TAG with the Topsham Art Festival running from Sunday 28 June to Thursday 23 July.
We hope you will join us at our TAG 60 events covering the whole range of interests and experience.
Find the Topsham Art Festival calendar under What’s On and start planning your July!
We would like to improve the display for the ceramicists and sculptors at the Summer Exhibition this year but will need an idea of the number and size of entries in order to plan the space available. We appreciate that you may not already have made firm decisions about what you will be submitting but we would like to start a conversation with you all in order to improve the display. Please drop an email to Maddy on chair@topshamartgroup.co.uk and put Ceramic or Sculpture into the subject line.
As the garden is coming into flower, now is the time to start your next competition entry – ‘Flower Power’. It might be the delicate wild flowers in the meadow, the blowsy peonies about to burst their buds. Just think of your favourite flowers – any medium.
Please bring your entries to the meeting on Thursday 18 June. We will be asking Melissa Wishart, our demonstrator for the evening, to judge the competition and award the prize.
We went back in time to celebrate the 60th anniversary of TAG with our competition theme this time. Pamela Campbell-Johnston, our speaker that night, picked out Peter Cusa’s drawing of 60s modernist buildings, and Liz Nuttall’s painting of three young women modelling the mini-dresses of the time (from a Simplicity pattern) for special mention.
The overall winner was Maddy Jevon with her mixed media piece ‘The Winds of Change’.
Thanks to everyone who entered into the 60s spirit.
