On Tuesday 30th March the Wootton Bassett Arts Festival held a Launch event for the NEW Art Section. The Festival Committee were really pleased to welcome Paul Deacon, our Art Adjudicator, who mingled with the attendees throughout the evening.

Presenters from the Festival gave a little background about the Festival and the reasons for starting a NEW Art Section. As a matter of fact when the Festival ran last year we received emails and phone calls asking us why there was no art section. As it happens last year we introduced Creative Writing and Speech and Drama and felt that another new section might be just too much to manage so we are pleased to be able to say that there will be an Art Section this year and that all those who felt it was missing last year – now’s your chance!

After the background was explained a detailed explanation of all of the classes available was given and the audience was encouraged to make suggestions of changes or new classes to be included next year.
Lastly Shirley Ludford of Swindon 105.5 gave a talk about the radio station and went on to talk one to one to those present including members of the Wiltshire Guild of Artists and Wroughton Art Society about their Art Societies and all of their news.

Everyone enjoyed the wine, crudites and chance to socialise with the evening coming to a close at around 9.30pm! Thank you to everyone who came and to the Committee for all their hard work.
