The Reading Guild of Artists (RGA) has released the names of this year’s recipients of the Marie Dyson Award. BBC Radio 3 presenter, Fiona Talkington said “it was a privilege to be asked to assess the works exhibited at the RGA’s 90th Annual Exhibition. It was also extremely difficult: there were many contenders”.

Whilst contemplating the many works on display Fiona commented that the Guild had shown, once again why art is so important, not just for those who make ‘all this amazing work’ but also for the effect on us as visitors who spend time with each work. She also admired the huge amount of work that goes into mounting such an exhibition including the ‘painstaking work of hanging’.

All these works can be seen at the Reconnected Exhibition, along with over 150 other pieces, at the Old Fire Station Gallery in Henley until 27th July 2021.
