Editors notes:

The Red House and Christchurch Arts Guild have been in very close liaison in the preparation and marketing of this exhibition and have secured the services of several notable professional artists to both launch the show and present its awards.

These are as follows:

Linda Patterson (CAG President)– Presenting the “Presidents Award” to her selected artist

Linda has been a designer, teacher and lecturer throughout her working career, and always an ‘Artist’. Drawing and painting since her earliest days. Her paintings cover many genres, but of late mostly landscapes, inspired by the surrounding beauty of the local area.

Pete Gilbert – Officially opening the show
The exhibition is being opened by Pete Gilbert, a renowned local landscape artist living in the heart of the New Forest and enjoying a high reputation for painting contemporary landscapes of the New Forest or the Dorset Coast.

Laura Bullivant – Presenting the “Spreadbury Rosebowl” to picture of choice.
Laura is the Community Manager for the Red House Museum and has worked closely with the Christchurch Arts Guild committee providing a formidable platform of co-marketing towards the staging of this exhibition.

Stephen Foster – Selecting “Best Watercolour in Show”
Stephen lives in Christchurch and has been a professional artist since 1985. His paintings are in collections in at least twenty countries and every continent. He now concentrates on painting abstracts and semi-abstract landscapes.

Elizabeth Kenyon – Best Marine painting

Elizabeth is Senior Account Manager within Archant Publishing and one of the prime movers for promoting the art scene in Dorset Magazine and Hampshire Life. Recognizing the high profile of this exhibition she has kindly agreed to select the painting she regards fulfils the role as the best Marine subject.
