Opportunity for artists
Artists are invited to submit work for a selling exhibition that takes its inspiration from the work and ideals of Harry Becker.
Takes place on the Friday, Saturday and Sunday of the first weekend in August, in Wenhaston church, it's a lovely atmosphere with various activities, like the 'paint out' and competition and our Mike Holtom Award and a surprisingly high standard and wide range of styles show there.
Plenty of abstracted work as well as more traditional pieces - all taken from 'landscape' in the widest sense.

The story so far:
The third quarter of Belgian Surrealist artist René Magritte's lost painting of two female nudes La Pose enchantée is re-discovered hidden under another painting La Condition humaine in Norwich Castle Museum & Art Gallery
 
The whereabouts of the fourth and final quarter remains unknown.

The painting in question is about to go on view at the Pompidou Centre in Paris as part of a major exhibition of Magritte's paintings.
