The Fellowship of Professional & Amateur Artists holds an annual summer exhibition, when FPAA members are invited to submit examples of their work for public display and appraisal by an external assessor.
Since 2007 entries to the FPAA's annual exhibition have been judged by David Rafer BA (Hons), PhD.
Once again we had a plentiful and varied show which was enjoyed by all our visitors. The preview on Friday evening was opened by The Worshipful the Mayor of Wellingborough, Cllr. Ken Harrington. The mayor and his wife were very interested in all the exhibits and stayed looking at the work and chatting to the artists for most of the evening.
