Adventurous
Artists at the Small Faces Open Exhibition
Eight of us met at The
Artisan cafe in Guildhall Square Southampton: Pam, Jean, June, David,
Muriel, Elaine, Helen and Di. The morning was chilly and overcast so
we had hot drinks in the excellent cafe before the Showcase
Gallery next door opened at 11 o’clock. The gallery is part of Solent
University but is open to the public and entry is free.
There were 7,000 postcards
of faces covering the walls and display boards. The charm of the
exhibition was the wide variety of styles and techniques. There were all
kinds of media used and some with just words or shapes. Many cards
were created by students and schoolchildren but the remainder
were created by people from all parts of the community. After an
hour we still had not seen all of the exhibits! The possibility of mounting our
own Small Faces exhibition was mooted.
Five people left after
that but Helen, Di and Pam stayed in the square to sketch for a further half an
hour. It had been a memorable Adventurous Artists outing.
