I went along to the exhibition today and greatly enjoyed it -- fantastic setting in the fort. Especially liked the works by Clare Johnson and John Barham. Is this / could this be an annual event?
ReplyDeleteThank you for your praise. So long as interest from artists and audiences and support from organisations like the Landguard Trust is available then there is no reason why it could not be repeated if members express a wish to do so. Like the sign in the shop says: if you don't like something, tell us. If you do like something, tell your friends!
