Art Exhibition 2018

Picture
VIC launched our first Art Exhibition of 2018 at the Haworth Art Gallery in Accrington and started on 31st March and finished on 20th May, there were 40 painting by over 12 VIC members on view.

The art work was all been done at the VIC Centre in Haslingden during the art groups that runs every Tuesday and Friday. The art group was one of the first activities VIC set up in 2011 and was the inspiration of Darren Horsnell, whose effort over the last 7 years has seen the art group develop into what we have today.

To mark the 100 year anniversary of the Royal Air Force there was another exhibition of rare photo's of WW1 aircraft and the Royal Flying Corps.

We would like to thank Graham Jones MP, the staff from the Haworth Art Gallery, VIC members who turned up to support the opening and members of the public. Well done all.

For more information on the art group or VIC please contact the office on 01706 833180
