An opportunity to exhibit up to 6 pieces of work in at least one annual national show alongside other artists
working in acrylics.
This year sees our 11th visit to The Crypt Gallery, St Ives Cornwall, the home of The St Ives Society of Artists.
We are once again delighted to be part of an exciting and illustrious tradition of artists who have shown their
work in The Crypt, including Sven Berlin, Peter Lanyon, Barbara Hepworth, Brian Wynter, Wilhelmina Barnes-
Graham, John Wells, Guido Morris and Patrick Heron.
Several awards are presented at each exhibition for outstanding works selected by an independent art
practitioner.
Awards are sponsored by Global Art Supplies, Pro-Arte, Daler Rowney, The Artist's Publishing Company and
the association's own awards; the President's Award, the Adrian Henri Memorial Award and the David Hillhouse
Memorial Award.
Members are also represented on the Napa website www.napauk.com . Each member is invited to include up to
6 images of their work on their individual page, with an artist's statement and links to their own webpages with
