We offer a range of events, classes and competitions for local visual art enthusiasts, and with over 300 members, there’s always something going on and new people to meet. Don’t hesitate to get in touch today and join a friendly community of like-minded individuals who share a passion for art.

There are three levels of membership. Full members can exhibit at our exhibition, vote at our AGM and attend all our events, as can student members, who must be between 16 and 22 years of age and in full time education.

BENEFITS OF MEMBERSHIP


We hold monthly demonstrations or lectures by professional artists on a variety of subjects. Regular visits are arranged to major exhibitions with a coach leaving from the centre of Stratford upon Avon going to London and other cities. We also organise workshops which are delivered at the Shottery Studio by professional artists.


We now have agreements with Foster Frames and Papersky, both located in Stratford. Society members are eligible for substantial discounts on framing, details will be available for new members upon sign up. Papersky and Fosters both offer a wide range of services which are suitable for artists in all mediums and are well respected members of the Stratford business community. 



The Annual Art Exhibition of members’ work is usually held during the last two weeks of August. This event was established over 50 years ago and has become well known in the art world, attracting visitors from far and wide.


An Annual Social Evening and Lecture is held in the 2nd week of May each year at a central venue in Stratford, where an eminent art specialist lectures on a specific subject. There is a bar at this event.


The Annual General Meeting is held in March and followed by a demonstration of works.  Please see the 'Monthly Demonstrations', and 'Workshops' pages for the full details of the current activities.
