About Us
The society was formed by Mary Everitt in 1962,
and is an independent association, so that we
are self- regulating and are not tied to any organisation
or evening class run by a local council.
We enable local amateur artists of all standards
to practice and improve their skills in an informal
and friendly atmosphere. Try us and see!
The Society is organised by the Chairman, President,
Treasurer, Secretary and a committee of ten
members. One third of committee members are elected
at each AGM in February to serve for a period
of three years.
Members may enter the Annual Exhibition each
year. Venue to be arranged.
A Summer Exhibition is held within the organisation
of the Rotary Club of Coulsdon Manor's Village
Fair at The Grange, Coulsdon Road, usually on
the second Saturday in July.
During the year, the Society has classes supervised
by three Tutors for portrait and still life work,
either painting in oils, watercolours, pencil,
crayon or pastel work. All three of our
Tutors are working artists of an excellent standard.
We meet on Thursday evenings in school term time
between 7.30 and 9.30 at 'Old Coulsdon Bowling Club',
81 Coulsdon Rd, Coulsdon, CR5 2LD.
We also get together for a ‘painting day’
over the Summer Break. This is usually outside
somewhere and for as many hours as one can spend.
The venue for this varies from year to year.
As we are a self help group, members are asked
to help setting up and clearing the tables and if doing portraiture,
then providing a volunteer sitter once a year.
