Chairman
of the Society John Christian explained how this year the exhibition
has something for everyone, as not only the paintings are on
sale, but also a selection of prints, cards and ceramics by
members of the Society. |

| With the rising costs of holding the
exhibition in the Scala Hall John explained,” We are trying to
move with the times offering a range of items to purchase, which
helps us to raise the funds to break even. Many local Society
exhibitions are held in venues not requiring the costs we have
to cover, but we want to stay in our traditional venue at the
Scala Hall.” |

The
exhibition is open daily at the Scala Hall for the next two
weeks:
'Brixham Society
of Art Work'
From Saturday 2nd
to Saturday 16th August, 'The Annual Exhibition of members'
Brixham Society of Art Work' in the Scala Hall, Market Street,
