Although not strictly news of our village, this may be of general interest to local residents interested in art. The Croydon Art Society is one of the oldest art societies in Britain (having been formed in 1881) and won The Artist/Leisure Painter Art Club of the Year in 2018. Art Societies and clubs are not just about painting and, in these troubled times, The Croydon Art Society has had to devise new and innovative ways to support and connect with its members. During Lockdown, the Committee were ringing round the members to see if they were OK and there have been talks and demonstrations via Zoom. This year there is going to be a 'virtual' Annual Exhibition of members' work in November 2020. For the first time, you will be able to see what a local art exhibition contains by simply going online at www.croydonartsociety.org. The Croydon Art Society has recently had a trial virtual exhibition called 'Into the Light' (because we all want a bit of light at the end of the Covid-19 tunnel) and this has been seen by people all over the country and as far away as Tasmania. The dates for The Croydon Art Society Annual Exhibition are: Monday 16th November to 16th January 2021. Jennie Grover Croydon Art Society
