MENTMORE ARTS FESTIVAL AIMING FOR MORE SUCCESS THIS YEAR! NEWS
The Mentmore Arts Festival is back for its sixth year and 2014 promises to be our best yet with new and interesting artists joining some of our regular favourites. You will find a full list of exhibiting artists on our website, www.mentmore-arts-festival.co.uk
In addition this year to our ever growing list of great local artists, we are delighted to include Peter Keegan who is an award-winning artist specialising in instant portraiture. Peter has appeared on national television and will be available for sittings on all three days.
In addition to viewing art in a variety of mediums by over 40 artists, a range of tasty refreshments will be available including a Pimms Bar, local real ale, teas, coffees and home made cakes. Live music will be performed in the Village Hall garden making this a truly great day out for all the family.
Children love the art corner where, under the inspiring guidance of one of our artists, they can express their inner Picasso. There is a Childrens Art competition and last year we had over 40 entries with a presentation of prizes in several age categories.
As well as promoting local art, the Mentmore Arts Festival donates the funds raised to local charities and from the past five events a total of 25,000 has been donated. This year our chosen charities include the Florence Nightingale Hospice, St Marys Church and other local charities.
