Artists & Makers - 2005 Reviewed By You

2005 was a record-breaking year for RAG, with more exhibitions, new members and - with our highest sales yet - more people buying contemporary arts and crafts ... and more money going to artists and makers.

While it all goes quiet on the RAG front in January, keep watching this site for improvements including better navigation, new pages and much more. Meanwhile, here's what people said about us in 2005:

"Why doesn't Brighton have something like RAG??" Alan (Fred) Pipes, writer on art & design, and cartoon illustrator.

"Thanks ... great easy site to use." Jane Denman, art tutor

"The accesible way the work is shown has attracted an ever-growing audience of admirers, art fans and collectors." Business First Magazine

"Last year I was inspired by Artist and Makers to return back to craft making." Anne Davies

"Some of the finest artistic talent around the country ... a lovely start to the 'open house' season." Country Homes & Interiors

"We went to three open houses yesterday, and I bought two paintings and a print!  Was really impressed – particularly by Sue Baker’s new work.  FAB!" LM
