Annual Art Group Exhibition and Sale

The annual Art Group Exhibition and Sale takes place over two weeks in November each year. All members of the Art Group are invited to enter up to three artworks for a small charge.

Artwork is located throughout the Club; in the Fountain Room, Health Club and Reading Room. It brings colour to the Club and allows our talented artists to show and sell their work.

The artist may choose whether to offer their artwork for sale or not and at what price.

The standard of entries continues to impress everyone and includes artwork in acrylics, water colours, pastels, mixed media, oils, charcoal and pencil, and also ceramics.

This is a creative and vibrant time for the art group. There was also a record 92 paintings entered in the 2023 spring class work exhibition.

We are always looking for new talented artists and innovative artworks

Details of how to enter the exhibition are emailed to all Art Group members and posted on the Art Group notice board in Reception from September.

Art Group Dinner

The exhibition is launched with a Private View and drinks reception, followed by our annual dinner for all Art Group Members and their guests. This is a great opportunity to meet and chat with fellow artists at the Club while viewing the exhibition and celebrating the activities of the group through the year.

Other Exhibitions

Students participating in the Art Group Classes are invited to exhibit one of the artworks which they have produced in class in an exhibition in the Spring. This takes place in the Reading Room in April and is a great way to show off the work of our students and also the benefit of the great teaching skills of our professional tutors.

There are currently a record 103 students taking classes in watercolours, acrylics, pastels, mixed media and life drawing, together with a beginners and improvers class.

This makes the exhibition an enjoyable way to see the range of styles and improving standard of our artists.

Our more accomplished artists are also invited to form individual or a joint exhibitions of their art. These are held each month and are displayed in the Reading Room at the Club.

This is a great way for Members to view and, if they wish, buy works of art while at the Club.
