The Barrow Society of Artists Exhibition was officially opened by the Mayor of Barrow Judith McEwan who delivered a lovely speech about the Society that she had researched well. The Society was Established in 1953 and has members from beginners to accomplished professionals. It felt special to have the Mayor detail some of the history and inspiration of the Barrow Society of Artists before officially opening our Exhibition for 2025.

The Art work presented for the Exhibition this year is phenomenal. And its fantastic to see so many different art styles by Artists in one exhibition which runs from 12th April 2025 to the final date on15th June 2025.
