Next Exhibition
Awash 2021
FESTIVAL OF WATERCOLOUR
We hope that you have had a relaxing and peaceful festive season despite the challenging year we have had, the recent and rapid rise in Covid cases locally and Tier 4 restrictions across our region. We are sure that most of you will not be surprised that we have decided to suspend both our physical and online Awash exhibitions at Wells-next-the-Sea, scheduled for February 2021.
We have been in regular dialogue with the Handa Gallery at Wells Maltings for the last few weeks reviewing the status of the pandemic and local Covid restrictions and it became clear to the Committee last weekend that we could not go ahead with the planned Awash Exhibition.
Finally, Happy New Year to you all and thank you from all of the Committee for your support and encouragement this year.
