Hailsham Twinning Association have links with Gournay en Bray in France who would like some Hailsham (and area) Artists to visit Gournay next year in March/April for a weekend. They would like artists to take their paintings to exhibit. If they could get a small party of interested Hailsham artists to go over they might be able to take a mini bus.   Anyone interested, get in touch and I'll pass your details to Pauline townsend. The Arlington Arts Festival dates are set for 15th to 23rd June 2013 - full details will soon be on the AAG website including opportunities to exhibit in the annual art and craft show. The Art in Empty shops project in Hailsham High Street is continuing, with the next changeover planned for 16th Nov. If you are interested in putting together a window display to stay in place for approximately 8 weeks, please get in touch. There will be a Christmas Tree Festival in Arlington including a small show of work by Arlington Arts Group on 1st and 2nd December - see www.stpancrasarlington.blogspot.co.uk for details.
