Annual Art Exhibition 12th to 24th November 2024

An invitation will be sent to you shortly inviting Art Group members to enter this year’s exhibition and sale.

You will have until Friday 18th October to get your entry forms in. Your artwork should then be taken in to the Club on Sunday 10th November.

I know that sounds like ages, but time flies so get your preparations underway. Remember we have decided the maximum size of entries will be 80cm x 80cm, including the frame and we do not want copies of famous artworks.

Thanks to the 18 volunteers who will put up this years exhibition!

You will also receive an invitation to come to the annual exhibition preview followed by dinner on 12th November 2024, so start thinking about putting together tables of your friends and fellow artists.

Reading Room Exhibition: Michael Godfrey

 

Michael is celebrating his 90th birthday and 25 years of drawing and painting, with an exhibition of his artwork in the Reading Room during September.

 

Wow. Congratulations. Happy birthday Michael and thank you for all of your support and encouragement for the Art Group.

Open Studio

On Saturday and Sunday mornings from 10am to 1pm, the Art Studio is available throughout the year for Art Group members to paint or draw together. This summer, until the 10th September, it’s also open on Tuesdays 10 am – 1pm. The exception is Saturday 7th September.

It’s informal, un-tutored and free to join. Tables and easels are available as required from the easel cupboard. Please clean up (especially if you used pastels or charcoal) and pack away at the end of your session, returning any tables or easels to the cupboard. When visiting, please call at the Security Gatehouse as you come into the Club to check whether the Studio is open, or to have it unlocked.
