It’s the countdown to 15th September: countless paintings to mount, frame and generally organise. Not to mention how two hapless artists are going to organise their tables. And that goes without trying to tempt friends, family and people who walk by in the street to come in and have a look.
Are we mad? Our teacher Mario would say no. It was he who prompted us and the rest in the class to sign up to Ealing Beat. Indeed, he’s threatening that he wants us to apply for the Royal Academy’s Summer Exhibition next year. Good luck with that Mario!
In the meantime we’re sticking, labelling, framing and panicking. If you see two straightjacketed ladies with blue in their hair next weekend you’ll know the worst has happened. But if you’ve some spare cash in your pocket and fancy buying some early Christmas presents then come along. We come under the heading of the Fine Art Room, St Aidan’s Hall, St Andrews URC Church, Mount Park Road W5 URS. Just look out for the balloons!
