Hempstead Arts 2014
Wasn't it wonderful! A lot of hard work and thoughtful planning resulted in as resounding success. The Village Hall was transformed into a first-rate venue of this second Hempstead Arts. A wide range of paintings, drawings, photographs, three-dimensional art and beautiful stained glass delighted all who came to look. Ian Summers 'catalogue' for the display was useful and interesting - the min-biographies of the artists added to the enjoyment of this delightfully-displayed exhibition. The standard was that of a first-class gallery - I'd made up my mind that our walls had more than enough pictures - but couldn't resist two more lovely paintings!
This event was more, much more that a money-raiser for All Saints' Church - it was for the whole community and beyond. It was outreach at its best. I confess to being something of a 'foodie' - here again, ten out of ten: the ground coffee and delicious home-made cakes and biscuits added to one's enjoyment - and perhaps one's waistline.
A wonderful team effort from a community of many talents. Well done, Hempstead and, as Henry Hall used to say, 'Here's to the next time.'
