The Summer Programme
Painting Days
Mondays May to September - 10.30 am to 4:30 pm
Painting days in and around Surrey, Sussex and London and visits to Art Galleries.

Held on Mondays throughout the summer at a variety of venues, these meetings offer the chance to paint with fellow artists. It is good to enjoy the encouragement of others and take the opportunity to paint outside.

We have met at some interesting locations from London to Sussex and the optional pub lunches are a bonus!

Prospective members on our waiting list are welcome to attend any of these events. Just let the organiser of the event know in advance that you are coming.
