Anna Phillips/Ann Brain (one artist, two names!) had her one day Open Studio as part of Warwickshire Open Studios on Sunday July 6th in Brinklow Community Hall.  The hall committee had installed picture rails which made putting up the exhibition so much easier than having to transport screens, plus she was able to have access the day before in order to display her work.

That Sunday saw the Wimbledon Mens' Final, the Rugby, the Tour de France and a local fete all taking place and she was afraid no-one would come.  However she need not have worried as plenty of visitors came and also bought, with artworks sales very brisk.  It helped that the WI were serving tea and delicious cakes - which they are usually happy to do for any event in the hall.  

She lets you all know as it is a very good venue and worth considering, especially as it only cost £44.  Highly recommended. Contact details for Brinklow Community Hall: Geoff Lines 01788 832373 (12 Colledge Close, Brinklow ).
