THE 15th Annual Community Bank Beaufort Pyrenees Art Exhibition will be held on Friday 24th, Saturday 25th and Sunday 26th of September. Covid restrictions meant the exhibition couldn’t run at the usual time on the Queen’s Birthday weekend.
Exhibition coordinator Ann Beer said the committee decided to postpone, rather than cancel, the event, hopeful that by September restrictions will have returned to ‘Covid-normal’.
“The safety and wellbeing of our artists, sponsors, volunteers and patrons was our chief concern,” Ann said.
“We had 415 works to hang as well as 43 works from students. We have advised all the artists who had entered and we are confident that they will all be participating in the exhibition in September.
“With the Pyrenees Art Exhibition at the Shire Hall, and with the Rotary Second-hand Book Stall in the RSL Hall and the Quilting Exhibition in the Beeripmo Centre happening at the same time, it will be a great weekend to visit Beaufort.
“Restrictions allowing, we will have a wonderful exhibition in September.”
Delivery dates for art works are September 19 and September 21, 2021. The official opening of the exhibition will take place on Friday, September 24 and raffle tickets will be sold until the end of the weekend. All tickets purchased for the Queens Birthday event are still valid.
