Roath Park Festival Invitation -NEW DATE – 6th July 2013 Painting Exhibition

Colin Bishop has passed on an invitation, from Gareth Stamp to the members of SWAS to exhibit paintings in The Roath Park Festival planned for the summer of 2013.

“I am organising a Festival in Roath Park on Saturday 6th July 2013. We were wondering whether you would like to display your artwork for purchase by the public?

The event is a celebration of one of our best loved Parks in Cardiff. I would like there to be lots for people to do, see and things for them to buy relating to the Park. I want to achieve a fun and family atmosphere to the event.

I am only just starting to plan it and space will be one of the restricting factors for the event.

I would really appreciate you passing on my details to anyone who can bring something to the event.

Many thanks

Gareth Stamp “
