Marlands Show is a Triumph!




Last Thursday evening, the Marlands shopping centre in Central Southampton, was host to the private few of the EU Artists Photographic Exhibition. A large number of people attended, to look at the work, listen to Polish rock band, Johnny Worker, and enjoy the gastronomic treats of Fabios Cafe.
The show was a culmunation of many weeks work, masterfully overseen by Konrad and Anna
from the group. After an opening speech by Dave Adcock from EUWelcome, in which he told us about the cities long history of welcoming migrants, (Dave is also a Southampton tour guide!), prizes were presented for the childrens entries by local sponser BSA Regal (Money to go to the participants schools) and Southampton Scrapstore (Art Materials for the winners). It was a fantastic evening and an incredible achievement for all the Artists involved, with a very high standard of work.
