Founded in 1966, the purpose of the club is the encouragement of the visual arts by all practical means, including the holding of exhibitions, discussions and appreciations.
Meetings are held in the Robert Craven Hall weekly on Mondays at 7.30pm from September through to May. Demonstrations by artists in various media are given on alternate weeks with practical evenings on the other weeks. Instructional videos and slide talks are also used.
In June and July, fortnightly practical painting afternoons are held in either one of the local parks or the local countryside.
Weekend exhibitions of members' paintings are held in July and August in Golden Acre Park.
Club fees are £22 per annum, an additional £2 per demonstration evening is also charged.
