Bromley Art Society
1st May to 25th May 2012
Open eve 1st May 7-9pm
These local artists make a welcome return with a varied selection of oils, watercolours, pastels, pottery and ceramics.
Bromley Art Society was formed in 1947 to bring together local painters and sculptors, art teachers and students, and all who share an appreciation of the fine arts. Most of its members are amateur artists working in a wide variety of media; oils, watercolours, acrylics, pastels, gouaches, pen and ink, prints and batik. Others produce work in ceramics, textiles, and jewellery.
Each year the Society stages major public exhibitions in Bromley and neighbouring venues. This year BAS will show at Bourne Hall, Ewell, and Hall Place, Bexley. Hall Place is the venue for the revived Annual Open Exhibition. Exhibitions provide excellent opportunities to display original works of art and to find buyers. Exhibitors pay a small entrance and hanging fee plus a percentage of their sales to the Society.
An essential element of the Society’s programme is a season of monthly illustrated lectures by experts on art and artists and practical demonstrations of various media techniques.
On most Wednesdays from 10 am to 1 pm and from 1:30 – 4:30 pm members of the Society paint together at Ripley Arts Centre, 24 Sundridge Ave., Bromley BR1 2PX.
Every three months members receive ‘The Easel’, the news and views of the Society’s activities with reviews of events and art exhibitions, together with articles and letters submitted by the members.
The Society is affiliated to the Bromley Arts Council.
