Aberdeen Art Fair

There was a good turn out for the first Aberdeen Art Fair. Thank you to all members who sent or delivered work for us to show alongside the framed exhibition posters and past catalogue covers. We met up with many menbers and had a number of new members sign up. It was a successful venture for AAS and part of the initiative to offer more for membership.
All the works that were submitted are now at Justice Street for you to pick up at your convenience. Ring to check that the premises is open or visit during the North East Open Studio week when Ian Smart will be in residence for the duration of the event. Check the NEOS catalogue for details.
Again - thank you for submitting work and in effect supporting the Art Fair as well as AAS.
