The Summer Exhibition at Tregwynt Mansion
Visitor numbers were good and the comments made were most appreciative of the high standard of work.
An interesting and diverse Print Exhibition of work by members was open in the Library Gallery, Fishguard until the 30th of July.
A small reception and presentation of the Emrys Art Print Prize and Runner up Prize by Tom Learmonth was held in the Gallery on Saturday 5th July. Ann Jones and, runner up, Carole king were warmly congratulated by Tom who said he chose the pieces that he would most like to have and were essentially print in nature.

Gwenno Dafydd opened our 'Coast Sea and Sky" Exhibition on the 22nd March, to a very appreciative crowd. Both the Selected and Open Exhibitions are full of excellent and enjoyable works showing that Fishguard Arts Society can hold it's own with any Exhibition of work anywhere. Gwenno sang unaccompanied the song she has written for St David's Day which has been adopted by the National Grid for Learning and the Welsh Assembly for our National Day.
The Exhibition in Fishguard junior School closed on April 3rd.
Sales were fair considering the early Easter and staggering of the holidays. Sitters generally enjoyed their stint and visitor numbers were relatively good with many positive and pleasing comments left by them.
