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 usually held in August. It provides an opportunity, over several days, for members to show their work in a formal but friendly exhibition environment in the New Memorial Hall. This year, because of Covid-19, our annual exhibition was different. For the first time ever it was online! The exhibition was open for the month of September and much of the work on display was for sale. For more details, and to see the exhibited work: |
