Peter Valentine’s Swansong Exhibition closed its doors on 6 September. Many of our artists went along to this fantastic exhibition at the Nottingham Society of Artists venue.  Some even made a purchase! Congratulations Peter on a great show. So proud to have you as a member of Derby Sketching Club. 

Repton Village Hall is the venue for an extended art exhibition by Derby Sketching Club. From 1 September to the end of October, several of our artists will have work on display in the corridors of this popular village hub. The excellent Maple Tree Cafe is in the same building if you fancy a cuppa. 

Some photographs from July’s fabulous Month of Art experience at Hopton Hall. 26 Derby Sketching Club members took part. Congratulations to Marie South for winning second prize in the competition for her ecoprint ‘July Leaves’.

Home, Health and Hope is the theme of the current exhibition gracing the walls of Level 2 Royal Derby Hospital and Queens Hospital, Burton on Trent.

The exhibition showcases work by local artists and creative NHS staff members with the objective to create an ‘uplifting, comforting and welcoming environment’ for patients and staff. On display are pictures by Derby Sketching Club;s very own Tony Hall, Felicity Jackson, David Walton and Nicola Mann. Elsewhere the corridors feature work by our longest serving club member Ann Eames and former club Chairman Andrew Macara.

If you get the chance, why not go and take a look? There’s some fantastic work on display and you don’t even need an appointment!
