On Sunday, 27th September, (at the Opening of the King Edward’s School VivArtis Art Exhibition and Sculpture Trail), Mrs Jane Stopford Russell, Chair of the Haslemere branch of the National Association of Decorative and Fine Arts Societies, presented the prizes to the winners of the Junior and Prep Schools Art Competition. She commented on the special relationship the Society has with King Edward’s. She was referring to their sponsorship of the competition and also the Society’s support, in the form of a scholarship, for an A Level art pupil at the school.
