Roger Hamer – chairman ofthe Harwich Festival Visual Arts Panel said that the exhibition ‘has proved tobe hugely popular because it is completely open, there is no selection! In thepast we have had paintings by professional artists being hung next to pieces bybudding draftspersons of the great age of three.  Some contributors have said that they usedthe 20cm by 20cm format to experiment with compositions or techniques beforecreating larger works. Others like it because the size isn’t daunting and theyfeel they can do anything. We have had embroidered pieces, constructions,prints, photographs, action paintings, collages, poems and many othercreations.
