Charities supported: - Padstow Art Group

During 2025, we bid farewell to our former tutor Wendy Parkyn, and we welcomed a new member to our group of artists.

At our annual social evening, Artists made a few presentations to local charities and organisations on behalf of the members of the Padstow Art Group.

We are delighted to announce that over the years, we have donated £26,057.47 to good causes that our members have nominated.

During the year’s exhibitions, the public were invited to vote for their favourite artist; Julia Prior received the most votes and was awarded a bottle of wine.

The artists held a Christmas card painting competition and Maureen Bennett was judged the winner.

Our congratulations go to the artists and thanks to the public for their continued support.
