The Society is a group of mainly amateur artists and others with an interest in the visual arts.
We have Monthly Meetings, in most months of the year, where we enjoy a talk by a knowledgeable guest speaker or a practical demonstration covering a wide variety of media and techniques. Our enthusiastic "Thursday Group" meet weekly to paint, draw, chat and enjoy each other's company in a very sociable environment. We arrange full day Workshops focusing on various specialist skills and techniques with an expert tutor in attendance to provide helpful guidance and support. Painting Days are arranged each year. Recent favourite locations have been Buscot Park, Inglesham, Buscot village and Coleshill village. |

Our Exhibition is usually held in August. It provides an opportunity, over several days, for members to show their work in a formal but friendly exhibition environment. This year, our Exhibition 2020 will be different - for the first time ever it will be online!
All activities are held in or around Lechlade. Monthly meetings, workshops and winter Thursday Group meetings take place in the Pavilion which is next to the New Memorial Hall, Oak Street, Lechlade, Gloucestershire, GL7 3YP. There is a map showing the location of the Pavilion on the Events page. During the summer months, the Thursday Group meet at The Trout Inn, Faringdon Road, Lechlade, Gloucestershire GL7 3HA. The Inn is a great rural venue on the banks of the River Thames. We welcome new members! See About and Membership for more information. |
