** NIPA Exhibition 2012 - Waterfront Hall from 6th February ** Best ever BPIC Performance **

04th February 2012
Despite being one of the Top 3 Clubs in N.Ireland for the last several years, BPIC members have traditionally 'shied away' from entering the NIPA Annual exhibition. The Club Committee was determined to address this issue, and actively encouraged people to enter prints for the exhibition this year, so that the current Top Club is seen to be supporting NIPA events, and to ensure that the BPIC name is at the forefront of the Exhibition.

We are delighted to report that a record 13 individual members of BPIC have been successful in having work selected for the Exhibition. BPIC members won the Gold Medal and Silver Medal in the Mono Print Section, and Silver Medal in the Colour Section, as well as 7 PAGB Ribbons! Overall, BPIC has contributed 30% of the accepted images, despite there being at least 23 active Clubs in Northern Ireland!

In mono prints, BPIC provided 12 out of the 35 images selected for the Exhibition!
Congratulations to all BPIC members for their effort and support in this Exhibition. The Opening and Awards Presentation will take place at Waterfront Hall on Monday 6th February at 7.45pm.
