Dear Artists,

The excitement is building as we approach the East London Fine Art Society’s Annual Exhibition! I am really looking forward to seeing the wonderful new creations that will soon find their way into the gallery. It is always exciting to discover the fresh ideas, different perspectives and artistic talent that our local artists bring to this much-anticipated exhibition.

A quick reminder: You can submit your entries either directly at the Ann Bryant Art Gallery or conveniently online. So, whether you have been busy creating something new or have a special piece you would like to exhibit, don't miss the opportunity to be part of this year's showcase!

There is also plenty more happening in our local art scene. A new exhibition featuring local artists at Karen Hannen’s Gallery is well worth a visit. Take a look at the details below and support the wonderful creative talent in our community.

In this newsletter, we also take a look back at some of the events, exhibitions and activities hosted at the Ann Bryant Art Gallery during October and November 2026. It has been a busy and inspiring period, filled with creativity, collaboration and opportunities to bring artists and art lovers together.

As always, the gallery is your space. Whether you are exhibiting, visiting, sharing ideas or simply enjoying the atmosphere, you are always welcome.

I look forward to seeing you at the Annual Exhibition!

Warm regards,

Leon
