Town gallery welcomes art club's annual display
Doncaster Art Club is gearing up for its annual exhibition at Doncaster Museum and Art Gallery this year.
The organisation has announced the event will take place from August 7 until September 18.
The club has been running since 1897 and members were instrumental in pressing for a museum and art gallery in Doncaster.
This year's show will celebrate the museum's centenary and the long standing relationship between the club and museum. There will be a special section featuring works from past club members drawn from the permanent collection.
Doncaster Council cabinet member Coun Cynthia Ransome said: "In 1910 Doncaster Art Club's exhibition was the very first to be held at the gallery's former Beechfield premises - before it was even officially open.
"I am delighted to see the club's work on show once again and I do hope that people in Doncaster will come and support the exhibition."
Mike Shaw, chairman of Doncaster Art Club, said: "This is a special year because of the long association between the club and Doncaster Art Gallery and Museum. Our members are very pleased to be exhibiting here during the museum's centenary year."
The free exhibition features works in a wide variety of media which will be on sale.
The exhibition will be open from 10am until 5pm, Monday to Friday and 10am until 4pm on Saturdays.
