Monthly Meetings A varied programme of talks and demonstrations by invited professional artists and speakers. Visitors are most welcome to our monthly meetings. Just arrive and register (£4 p.p.) at reception. If you wish to become a member then pick up a form at reception or download from the Membership page of this website. For upcoming meetings, see Monthly Meetings Thursday Group An enthusiastic group of between 20 and 30 "regular" members who meet weekly to paint or draw in any media and to chat and enjoy each others company in a sociable environment. For the meeting venues and times, see Thursday Group Exhibition The annual exhibition is usually held in August at the New Memorial Hall. It provides an opportunity, over several days, for members to show their work in a formal but friendly exhibition environment. The New memorial Hall is a beautiful modern venue offering a large exhibition space with excellent natural light. Refreshments are always available which encourages our visitors to relax and enjoy their time at the exhibition. For our last exhibition see Exhibition 2019 Painting Days
Outdoor painting days are arranged for several dates each year in the area around Lechlade on Thames. We choose venues which offer some indoor cover, incase the weather does not cooperate, and with facilities to prepare drinks, have some lunch and socialise. Sometimes a cafe is available. The day begins at 10.00am and we often work until 4.00pm, especially if the weather is good. Recent favourite locations have been Buscot Park, Buscot village and Coleshill village. For more information, see Painting Days Workshops
Our workshops are run by talented and professional artists often following on from a demonstration at a monthly meeting. These workshops offer members the opportunity to work in the style of a well-known artist in a particular genre. Workshops are based on demand and the interests of our members to incorporate new methodology, materials and ideas to enhance their work. Workshops are very popular and numbers are limited in each session, generally to not more than 12 participants. See Workshops Open Studios
These are occasionally arranged and allow visitors to see us at work in a friendly and welcoming environment. This year we participated, as a collective of 12 artists, in Swindon Open Studios in September. For upcoming events, see Open Studios The Pavilion
