Business owners and directors, professional advisers and private clients were among the 450-plus guests who attended accountancy firm Smith & Williamson’s annual client event at the Royal West of England Academy (RWA) in Clifton.
The accountancy and investment management group hosted the drinks reception to enable its guests to enjoy the RWA’s 162nd Annual Open Exhibition which features more than 500 works of art, including paintings from HRH The Prince of Wales.
Smith & Williamson Bristol office managing partner Mike Lea said: “We had another excellent turnout this year and were delighted that so many people were able to join us. It was an opportunity to thank our clients for their ongoing loyalty and we hope they enjoyed the evening of art and conversation as much as we did.”
The RWA’s Annual Open Exhibition showcases an eclectic range of paintings, drawings, sculptures and other artworks for sale. It runs until December 7.
