Once again the Dalston Art Group held an exhibition of their work in the Victory Hall over the first weekend of the 2007 Dalston Festival. The standard, as always, was very high. About a dozen members were represented and many of the founder members were present (three of whom are featured below).

The exhibition was the Group's contribution to the community spirit engendered by the Festival, and it was gratifying that so many enjoyed looking and what has been done, or is in the process of being done. Most members were present for most of the two days and enjoyed meeting so many visitors and talking to them about their work. Liz Walsh and George McVittie very bravely actually did some painting and drawing in the process of completing painting while people were looking round, and some inquisitive children needed to be restrained from the pleasure of sticking their fingers into wet paint!

Anne Marston painted the picture which was the first prize in the raffle.

While selling was not the main aim of the exhibition, some cards and pictures were bought, but above all, hearing people express their appreciation of what they saw was reward in itself.

The raffle picture was won by Elizabeth Auld.
