WSA 74th Annual Exhibition at The New Art Gallery Walsall
Posted on Dec 24, 2024Walsall Society of Artists are holding their annual exhibition at The New Art Gallery Walsall from 13th December 2024 – 2nd February 2025.
The Private View took place on the evening of Thursday 12th December 2024. For all those that didn’t attend you missed out on a great night, luckily for me I did go and was thrilled to see such amazing artwork. If I’m honest I was completely blown away with the local talent right here in Walsall. The standard of this exhibition is extremely high and the work speaks for itself. Don’t just take my word for it, go and experience it for yourselves, I don’t think you will be disappointed.

The night consisted of awards, beautiful raffle prizes and best of all mingling with the artists and their friends and family. A very well organised evening thanks to Jude Hanly and the WSA Committee, for all their hard work and dedication, working so hard in the background putting all this together. The exhibition has been curated by Deborah Robinson, head of exhibitions at The New Art Gallery Walsall, deserves a very warm round of applause for putting together a wonderful exhibition.
