Given the existing economic gloom, the following statistics
supplied by The Victoria Art Gallery are surprisingly encouraging
and support my feeling that we are responsible for a very worthwhile
enterprise.
Total
works entered: 718
Total works accepted: 415
Non-members works accepted: 225
Members work accepted: 190
The 415
works displayed constitute a record for any exhibition held
at the Victoria Art Gallery with 72 works sold. Number of
visitors totaled 12,876. Here is a random selection of comments
from the Visitors' Book:
'Works
of international level - should go on tour'
'Very
high standard overall, interestingly diverse, hard to choose
a favorite'
'Well
worth the council tax. Keep VAG free'
'Far too
many for the space, distracts from rare and unusual works'
'Refreshing
entertaining variety'
