We plan to revive the Members' Art showcase on the Gallery page, to replace the current selection from the annual exhibition. So if you are a member and would like to show examples of your work on the website, please email not more than three images, in jpeg or png format, to the editor. Don't forget to give the title, medium and size of each work.
