Thank you for your support at our Culcheth show a week ago.



Leigh Community Art Group would like to thank everyone who came out in the appalling weather last Saturday at Culcheth Parish Hall to see and buy our paintings. The venue was very well attended and we hope to see you all next year. 13 artists displayed 226 paintings of which 25 were sold. Many were purchased for Christmas presents so a lot of people are in for a very pleasant surprise on Christmas morning although Santa may have a bit of a problem fitting them into a stocking! Once again our thanks. For more on our club’s events and becoming a member see www.lcag.blogspot.co.uk



“Siena“ - an oil on canvas by B.Marsh, one of the paintings on view at the show.


Please call back to see photos of the show at Culcheth on a separate page in the next couple of days.
