This year's theme is Drawing: the Foundation of Art and we are delighted to report that three artists will be present within the Main Gallery to give demonstrations and run a workshop on different aspects of drawing. The 'drawing' theme is in line with DE sponsor ING Bank's drawing initiative, The Drawing School, 2005 and this year's DE Bursary award for drawing, which both feature in this newsletter and follows on from the highly successful Friends and Members evening at last year's exhibition when Tom Coates and Mark Richards gave demonstrations in portrait painting and sculpture.

In addition, two artists will be on hand on 16 November 2005 to give informal guided tours of the exhibition.

We hope to see as many Friends and Members as possible!.

The Membership Scheme, for artists, costs £40 per year, which includes free submission to the annual DE exhibition for up to six works. It does not guarantee selection, but for non-members, the cost of submitting six works is currently £48.

The Friends Scheme operates for all other interested parties. Friends and Members receive the DE Newsletter twice a year and private view tickets to the November exhibition. For further information, please contact Jane Wright.
