Amersham Festival of Art has been as successful as ever! With roughly 300 pieces of Art being displayed in the week long event, it was a fantastic opportunity to showcase the extraordinary talents of our local artists.
Following some changes this year, we are on the hunt for some enthusiastic art lovers to join the Amersham Festival of Art Committee.
