Congratulation to club secretary Martyn Harris whose portrait of Michael after picking green beans in his allotment has been selected to hang in the Royal Society of Portrait Painting at the Mall Gallery, London from March 2022.
An earlier portrait study of Michael won the Presidents Award at the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists some 2 years ago.
Midland Film and Art is a membership club where people can enjoy screenings of films or view artwork and crafts that would otherwise not be shown in mainstream cinemas or exhibitions, or be available locally. These shows usually have an educational aim, introducing new audiences to different audiovisual works through screening and display, encouraging participation in arts and crafts. A common feature that may characterize a Midland Film and Art meeting is that they either begin with an introduction to the audience and/or end with the promotion of a discussion about the film/art, where assistants, organizers and sometimes the filmmakers/artists themselves, exchange their views.
