The Royal Watercolour Society Friends in East Anglia (RWSFEA)
RWSFEA is being formed to further the understanding of watercolour and enjoyment of those who paint, collect or simply just love looking at watercolour paintings. As a Friend of the RWSFEA you will have the opportunity to
1) Attend workshops led by RWS Members
2) Submit work to exhibitions juried by the RWS
3) Take part in a varied programme of events and an Annual dinner
4) Enjoy various discounts from the Bankside Gallery in London on RWS pictures and books.
The Royal Watercolour Society represents the finest watercolour painting in Britain. It is the oldest watercolour society in the world and is second only in importance to The Royal Academy as an art society. The RWS has defined 'a watercolour' to mean 'a painting in a water- based medium on a paper-based support'. This definition allows a range of work of infinite variety. The RWS originated in1804 as a protest Group of artists who felt badly used by The Royal Academy, which would not elect painters in watercolour. There was no coherent RWS style, it was simply a society that many of the finest painters in watercolour of the time wanted to join. Though they themselves were painters in a conservative tradition, the founders would have realised the great subtlety and delicacy of watercolour, and also its infinite capacity for development.

WHO ARE WE?
Hilary Hann and Sarah Morgan: A perfect PR partnership
Hilary Hann launched the Garden House Gallery five years ago to showcase some of Norfolk's finest artists and makers, bringing an ever-changing vibrancy to Cromer's art scene. She has a knack for spotting creative talent and getting their work 'out there'. The gallery & shop is uniquely unstuffy, a fun place to be & full of exciting art and homey desirables - mostly made in Norfolk.
Before coming to Norfolk Hilary was a successful clothing designer, notably for Whistles and Howies. She taught at the London College of Fashion, inspiring students to problem-solve in the design industry. She is a formidable organiser and brings flair, foresight and creative intelligence to gardenhousePR.
Sarah Morgan has been a journalist for 20 years, editing a number of lifestyle magazines. She is also an artist, and understands the toe-curling misery of hawking work around galleries. At the first slammed door she took matters into her own hands and used her knowledge of the media to promote her paintings. This she has done very successfully, with sell-out exhibitions and attention-grabbing media coverage.
She has also worked in PR for the art and wedding industries. It came to her attention early on that many excellent artists are notoriously bad at self-promotion, so set about doing it for them.
Together: Hilary and Sarah are very nice, utterly approachable and looking for clever people to represent. So if that's you, please make an appointment to see us at gardenhousePR.

Green Pebble
Free magazine exclusively for the visual arts
This quarterly full-colour magazine was launched in March 2007. With a print run of some 9,000 copies it is the largest free magazine dealing exclusively with art and craft in Suffolk and Norfolk. Our ambition is to celebrate the richness and diversity of our local arts and crafts as well as to encourage people to buy original works of art and visit more of our local galleries. We offer local artists the opportunity to promote their work in a full A4 colour page of the magazine and then help the interested public find that artist throughout the following year through the magazine's published artists tracking service, all for the subsidised rate of £125.
The editorial appeals to people who like to buy art whilst not forgetting those who make such items. Accordingly we believe the magazine to be of significant use to:

• Artists and craftspeople trying to promote their work
• Galleries and other such promoters of art
• Commercial studios of craft
• Businesses promoting original and individual items of fine workmanship
• Suppliers to the arts sector

Our policies favour local artists, studios and firms. Our editorial content also covers new developments from the various regional art and craft societies, municipal funding matters, retrospectives on local artists as well as interesting projects from local photographic societies. Listings enable the public to see 'what's on' at the galleries and track individual artists exhibitions all year long. For more information visit our web site on www.greenpebble.co.uk .
