About:

Founded in 1935 by a group of Forest of Dean artists before being reformed
in 1965 by the then tutor at Lydney Art College. The object of the Society
is the same now as it was when founded, i.e. to promote and encourage
interest in the practice of visual arts as a vital part of everyday life.

The activities of the Society include :

  • exhibitions of members' work
  • talks
  • demonstrations
  • painting days
  • critiques
  • outings to exhibitions and places of artistic interest

Exhibitions are held in a variety of places in and around the Forest of Dean
each year.
