Ricky Art - Spring Exhibition: An exhibition of work by local artists
Tuesday 15 May to Tuesday 5 June 2012

Rickmansworth and District Art Society

Formed in the 1950's to provide an opportunity for local amateur artists to exhibit, socialise and learn. They meet monthly throughout the winter for demonstrations by professional artists and during Ricky Week in early May, they stage their annual Spring Exhibition.

A popular activity in recent years has been the painting of a large mural to coincide with the Canal Festival, which is displayed on the waterfront wall of Tesco. Members also exhibit at other local venues such as the foyer of Three Rivers House and the Environment tent at the Canal Festival.
