Anyone in the vicinity of Waunifor Centre, Maesycrugiau, Llandysul, Carmarthenshire between Sunday 23rd Aug and Monday 31st Aug would have to be a total lunatic not to go and see this show of work by some outstanding artists……......and me (notice I managed to get one of my paintings on the front cover……....who said bribery doesn’t work?:-)))
If anyone is around on Saturday 22nd Aug between 5pm and 8pm they could, if they really thought they needed the experience in their lives, meet yours truly at the launch party and share a few artistically arranged bottles of wine and a cream cracker or two

Also!

............. OPENING NIGHT TONIGHT! .................
