Market Drayton Schools 2023 Calendar Project
On behalf of the Arts Festival Team we would like to say a big thankyou to all our sponsors, the staff and children of the local schools, businesses, traders and local people who have supported the project by buying a calendar this year or given a donation. To date we have raised just over £1000 and are well on our way to reaching our target to be able to fund the professional artist's fees and art materials for the painting workshops we will be running in all the schools for the 10th Anniversary of the Calendar Project in 2024.
Comments from people who came to see the Exhibtion:-
'A wonderful exhibition of splendid children's art'
'Wow! What wonderful work. So much effort. There was a fabulous 'vibe' with most of these unique pieces. A big well done."
'What a lovely exhibition and very high quality artwork from the children'
'So lovely to see such wonderful talent."
'I came specifically to look at my grandaughter's painting but I've been amazed by the imagination, quality and concentration that has gone into these excelllent pictures. Congratulations all of you."
For our 10th Anniversary celebration we are planning to stage an extra exhibition displaying all the children's paintings that have featured in the Calendar since the first edition created in 2014.
The 2023 Calendars are on sale until Christmas at £5.00 in the FDC, the Library and at Glyn's Framing [Stafford Street]
