Black Dog Arts logo
Internationally acclaimed artist, Bob Linney, designed the Black Dog Arts logo free of charge. “We are completely bowled over by Bob Linney’s generosity and our fabulous logo,” said Jan Dungey, the group’s secretary.”Bob normally commands hundreds of pounds for work like this, but he wanted to show his support for a local art initiative”. Bob lives and works from his home near Halesworth and can be contacted by email at healthimages@btinternt.com)
BDA – The Beginning
Black Dog Arts was formed August 2007. Its aim is 'to develop the fine and applied arts in the Bungay area. This shall be achieved through a member-led association' and 'organise and promote events and activities including exhibitions, meetings, workshops, lectures, classes, seminars and courses, plus any other event deemed appropriate'. Our members range from well-known artists and crafts people as well as those who paint/craft for pleasure.
