ANNUAL EXHIBITION 2022
It’s all over now!
Our grateful Club members now send their sincere thanks and appreciation to all the wonderful visitors who attended to view and in many cases purchase artwork across the 6 weeks run of the Exhibition.
Also a big thanks to the staff of the Lillie Gallery and the MAC committee and volunteer helpers who did a sterling job of keeping everything running smoothly.
To recap….
A total of 212 artworks were exhibited on this our first post-pandemic annual exhibition which ran from 25th June to 4th August! Some 70 pieces were sold, including 26 pieces sold by the end of the opening day.
Saturday afternoon of 25th June saw an amazing crowd gather for our official opening event. Exhibition Convenor Iain McAulay introduced our special guest artist Avril Paton (Windows in the West) who announced the winner of this year's Centenary Award: Margaret Scott, for her painting “Old pier, Easdale”.
After the members present voted, Avril also announced the winner of this year's Milngavie Art Club award: Kate Blackie for her painting “Machair”.
Avril’s Highly Recommended mentions go to (in no order):
Scott Lang “The Ends”,
Anne Morrison “Life on the Shoreline” (ceramic),
Laurie Hunter “Laid up in Berneray”,
Nicola Carberry “Friends from America I & II”.
We were treated to an afternoon of musical accompaniment of sublime jazz from the Factory Street Saxophone Quartet. Many thanks to the band; they really added to the wonderful atmosphere!
Most days, across the duration of the exhibition had one or two members present demonstrating their work as part of our Artists in Residence.
Well done everyone, members and visitors!
You have made our exhibition a wonderful success!
