We are a friendly and relaxed art group who, on three weeks out of four, meet at Bourne Hall on Wednesday evenings, 7.30 pm to 9.30 pm, for a mixture of high-quality demos, lectures, life-drawing and workshops.
We welcome all – whether an established artist or a fun amateur who wants to learn more. We like to think of the group as one that will inspire, and we pride ourselves on the quality of our programme.
For six or seven weeks during mid-summer we switch to daytime plein air meetups at chosen locations. This is usually between mid-July and the beginning of September. Details of plein air locations and timings will be published on the Programme.
Members also have the opportunity to exhibit with the group at our exhibitions (usually two or three each year). There is a charge for hanging a picture in an exhibition and if you sell your masterpiece then commission will be taken by the group.
Every member can have a gallery page on the website. This costs £6 a year payable on 1st April. We very much encourage new members to take this option as, with their permission, our Publicity Secretary can use artwork from the gallery to promote the group, and the individual member, on social media. The gallery also gives each member an Internet presence.
Members benefit from 10% off all purchases in Pullinger’s Art Shop (mention at the till that you are a member).
Our membership year begins on 1st April and the membership fee for 2025-26 is £73. At each meeting, every member also puts £2 into a pot. You’ll be charged a pro-rata fee if you join part way through the year based on remaining months, including the whole of the month in which you join. However, there is no reduction in the gallery page fee if you ask us to set up a gallery page mid-year.
