Connoisseurs of art posters will have been overjoyed to have spotted a true classic appearing in the shop windows, notice boards, telephone kiosks in the town (writes P.M.). A work by Harry Gardiner announces the Annual Art Exhibition for later this month and ending on the first day of August. And how the taste buds go into over-drive with this feast of art ahead.

The Arts Club has a section devoted to the finest works and year by year these are put on display, many for sale, in this annual feast.

Non of your Jackson Pollocks skidding on spilt paint astride a mountain bike. Non of your unmade beds; non of your disemboweled sheep preserved in formaldehyde. And never do I ever want to see again a water colour of a giraffe wreathed in flames as one can witness in many of the Salvadore Dali exhibitions around the world. Dreadful.

This Tenby exhibition has real artists. No impostors. Confident with their brush strokes; inspired in choice of colour; masters of perception and shape. A collection of sensuous delights.

And all for free, comparing well with the 20 euros spent to admire the giraffe in flames, in Majorca earlier this year.

There will be all the usual elements of the fun of the fair. Raffle prizes, an auction of a valuable work by a notable local artist (not Augustus John please note).

Tenby folk, who have an above average cultured sensibility will be agog waiting.

It all happens between Saturday, July 20 and Thursday, August 1, daily between 10 am and 5 pm, in St. Johns Church Hall, Warren Street, Tenby.

Just follow the crowds; though there will be one sign directing traffic.
