An Invitation from Chichester Camera Club

Members of your Club are cordially invited to Chichester Camera Club's eighteenth advanced members' exhibition to be held on Saturday, 19th January 2019 at the North Mundham Village Hall. The exhibition will be open between 10 am and 5 pm with refreshments, light lunches and teas available throughout the day. If anyone cannot make it on the Saturday, we will be open on the following day (Sunday) between 10:00 am and 4:00 pm. We will also have refreshments available on that day.

Print exhibitors have had the choice of varying screen spaces with the freedom to display virtually any type of work they wish with no rules on size, subject matter technique, etc. whilst PDI workers are each allowed to have up to 4 images projected, again with no subject ruling. Based on our
previous, similar exhibitions, this freedom of choice has resulted in a considerable display of artistic talent. The day has also proved to be a great social occasion.

We hope you will be able to visit us and look forward to meeting you on the 19th January. 
Your members may also be interested in another event involving the Chichester Camera Club - an exhibition exploring the history and images of the Club since its founding in 1893. It is being held at Chichester's new museum, "The Novium" and is getting rave reviews from all who see it. The exhibition will be there until March

LAST CHANCE FOR HAMPSHIRE RESIDENTS TO ENTER ART COMPETITION
Now open to anybody in the Andover area.
As mentioned, we’re in the last week of taking entries for our art and photography competition. We are looking for entrants to take photos or produce pictures highlighting the natural beauty in Andover and its surrounding areas – the competition is going to be judged by Pip McGarry, world renowned wildlife artist and the winner will receive £500, with two runners up getting £100.

Entrants should send their photos or a scan of their entry to: purecremation@mccann.com

Time is running out for people in Hampshire to submit their entries for an art competition which is being run by Pure Cremation, the leading direct cremation specialist behind the new Charlton Park Crematorium in Andover.

As the deadline of Friday 14th December approaches, Pure Cremation is calling on people to capture Andover in a work of art, to be in with a chance of winning £500 as well as the opportunity to have their art publicly displayed when Charlton Park Crematorium is opened in spring 2019.

With Pip McGarry, one of the world’s leading wildlife artists and the ‘Artist-in-Residence’ at Marwell Zoological Park, lined-up to perform guest judging duties, the creative competition is open to residents of Hampshire who are over 18.

Works of art can be submitted in any form, as long as they can be hung on the walls of the new crematorium; so photographs are welcomed, along with drawings or paintings created in any medium such as oil, acrylic, pencil, charcoal, watercolour or pastel

Entries, which should be clearly labelled on the back with the entrant’s name, address and contact details, can be posted to: Charlton Park Crematorium Art Competition, C/O McCann PR, Pure Cremation Team, Communications House, Highlands Road, Shirley, Solihull, West Midlands, B90 4WE. Alternatively, photographic entries can be emailed to: purecremation@mccann.com.

Artist Pip McGarry said: “I am thrilled to be involved in this campaign alongside Pure Cremation, and to put the spotlight on the creativity and passion for art that exists within Andover and the wider county of Hampshire. I look forward to seeing all the entries and to having the privilege of performing guest judge duties.”

Currently under construction on Hatherden Road, Charlton Park Crematorium, is set to open in spring 2019, giving local families the chance to say goodbye to loved ones a little closer to home.

Catherine Powell, director and co-founder of Pure Cremation, said: “As part of our ongoing commitment to supporting and engaging with the community, we wanted to launch a public art competition to source unique works from local people to be displayed within Charlton Park Crematorium.

“We have already received some fantastic entries and we do hope members of the public will make the most of this opportunity to capture Andover and enter this very special competition.”

The deadline for entries is 23:59 on Friday 14th December and more information, along with terms and conditions, can be found at www.charltonparkcrematorium.uk/artwork-competition-terms-conditions

Selected works will be chosen to be displayed in the crematorium when it is completed in spring 2019; and, from these, one overall winner will be awarded a cheque for £500, and two runners-up will receive a cheque for £100.
