After a two year wait, there was a welcome return to the Ipswich Art Gallery in High Street for the 143rd Annual Open Exhibition of the Ipswich Art Society. There is work by Members, Friends and the general public and a retrospective of work by Judith Foster and Claire Lambert, two of of our longest-standing and most respected Members. It was a pleasure to see many familiar faces at the Private View, and meet some new ones, in this well-loved venue which has played such an important role in the visual arts in the town. 

Collection of unsold and purchased work:   Saturday 7 May   10.00am - 4.00pm. 

(Please arrange for someone to collect your work if you are unable to do so.)
