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 demonstration by an accomplished artist. Both talks and demonstrations cover a wide variety of subjects, media, styles and specialist 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. |

Several Painting Days are arranged each year. Recent favourite locations have included Buscot Park, Inglesham, Coleshill and Buscot Lock and village. Our annual exhibition is held in August in the New Memorial Hall, Lechlade. It provides an opportunity, over several days, for members to show their work in a formal but spacious and friendly environment. Because of Covid-19, our annual exhibition for 2020 was online for the first time ever! This year our annual exhibition was back to normal and very well attended in the New Memorial Hall.
