Wingham Village Hall, 17/05/26
The East Kent Art Society proudly hosted its annual New Members' Selection Day today, showcasing an impressive array of talent from aspiring artists. Held from 10am at Wingham Village Hall, this year's event saw a remarkable turnout with 27 candidates submitting their work for review, reflecting an exceptionally high standard that delighted the selection committee.
In a spirit of community engagement, each participating artist was presented with a discount voucher for The Dog, the local pub that generously partnered with EKAS to support the event.
The selection process was rigorous, involving multiple review rounds that ultimately led to a committee vote. After careful consideration, 12 talented artists were chosen to join the society, marking a notable achievement in this year's selection process. The quality of the submissions was outstanding, with many candidates expressing their appreciation for the opportunity to share their art and connect with fellow creatives.
As the successful candidates await notification of their acceptance, EKAS is excited to welcome them into its vibrant community. For those who missed this year's selection day, be sure to keep an eye out for next year's date, which will be announced later in the year.
