A big ‘thank you’ to all those who were able to come to the ‘Premiere’ of ‘Artists don’t Bite’ at Maidstone Town Hall on Friday 25th July. The event was a great success, with over 100 people attending to see the film, enjoy the occasion and to meet up with fellow artists and friends.

Thanks too, to all the people involved in the organisation and preparations for the event, especially to the staff at the Town Hall whose help was superb.

A final ‘thank you’ to all the artists and contributors to the ‘Artists don’t Bite’ film ... without your vision, energy and creative ideas, this film could never have got off the ground!
