       Fairford Art Society Winter Competition 2021


To help lighten “Lockdown Gloom”, your Committee invites all 2020 and 2021 FAS members to enter this competition.

  • Each entrant can submit a maximum of two “Artworks”.
  • The subject will be “Something to cheer everybody up”.
        Interpret this however you wish.
  • To enter, send a digital image of each Artwork to colinvmorse@hotmail.com, together with your name, the title of each entry, and the media used.
  • No entries will be accepted after the 14th February 2021, which also happens to be St Valentine’s Day.

As we receive each image, it will be displayed anonymously on the Serendipity page of this website, together with a simple numerical identification number.

After the closing date, in the last two weeks of February 2021, all our members will be invited to judge the competition by voting for their favourite. The top three will then be identified to all our members, and no doubt our society funds will be raided for three small prizes.

Good luck everyone, we look forward to receiving all your entries. It would really please your committee to have a strong entry, with plenty to cheer us all up. We know you can do it!

​WHO WE ARE

​We are a group of enthusiastic leisure painters who meet regularly to share ideas, techniques, and motivation. The aim is to enjoy our common interest in a relaxed, friendly, and supportive environment. The Society has been active for 43 years, and so we have many years of experience.



​
OUR MEMBERSHIP

The Society has a membership of about 40 living in Fairford and the surrounding area. New members are always welcome, and can attend any of our Get Together Painting Sessions or Demonstrations as a "drop in"  guest. So, if you are thinking of possibly joining us, come along and say hello, you can be sure of a very warm welcome. If you go to the Membership section of this website, you will find more detailed information on membership. 
 
​
WHAT WE DO

We currently run Get Together Painting Sessions four times a month, together with monthly Workshops or Demonstrations by expert artists in their own particular field. The recent addition of Outdoor Painting Sessions during the summer months has proved very popular. In addition to these regular activities, there are occasional social events, and an Annual Society Exhibition. 

​​If you go to the Programme section of this website, you will see what is currently on offer for you to enjoy. 
 
​
WHERE WE MEET

Meetings are held at the Farmoor Room, Fairford Community Centre, High Street, Fairford, Gloucestershire, GL7 4AF, unless denoted otherwise in our programme.
