Stevenage Arts Society is celebrating over 40 years with its latest Winter Art and Pottery Exhibition at Springfield House in Old Stevenage.  The Chairman of the society and other members welcomed local MP Stephen McPartland, and showed him around the exhibits which are all work of the members of the society.

Stephen said "I was very impressed with the high standard of the work on display and proud of the artistic talents we have here in Stevenage."

He added, "I very much look forward to coming back and having a go at the pottery - I understand it can be quite messy, which sounds like great fun".

Stevenage Arts Society has permanent studios for both painting and pottery, as well Denington Galleries which allow them to mount exhibitions both of members' works and open exhibitions.
