So it’s November. How did that happen? This year seems to have rushed by and now the darkdays and nights beckon. However one bright light on the horizon is our 34th ANNUAL EXHIBITION 2023 The second weekend in November usually Armistice weekend, November 10 – 12th at the Community Centre will see a large range…
An exciting change of pace for members and non-members alike comes with our September offer, a demonstration from Chris Fothergill, architectural illustrator, and artist, showing us the skills of Pen and Wash with Urban Sketching, a challenge for us “can’t draw a straight line “ merchants. It’s hard to be galloping into the Autumn, but…
August sees a new demonstrator for us, Leanne Ellis showing her work on a landscape in Oils, which will contrast directly with last month’s experience of urban landscape in watercolour with Ray Blundell. The good weather has tempted members out on “en plein air” activities, which has taken us from Himley Hall’s waterfalls to a…
(as appearing in Hagley Village News) July 2023 demonstration is as far removed from June’s offering of Adrian Clamp’s Acrylics Landscapes as it can be, as we have Ray Blundell demonstrating his vibrant expressive urban scenes in watercolour.

(As appearing in Hagley Village News) So we’re galloping apace towards the summer with our programme starting in June with An Introduction to Landscapes in Acrylics with Adrian Clamp.

We also had several of our members exhibiting at Himley Hall’s recent Art and Artisan…

Time to get outside, fellow artists, there are exhibitions to prepare for!…

Hagley Art Club 31.12. 2022 Feb 2023 Unlike many other clubs during the winter, while they may slow down, we speed up, in that we offer an extra demonstration in January, February and March. Shared Zoom demonstrations with another club were our solution during lockdown: but it seemed a wasted resource not to continue with…
Apparently, November comes around at the same time every year. And yet our Annual Exhibition seems to come as a complete surprise when it appears on the horizon, seeing the sudden flurry of activity it inspires. And then after all the panicking, and haring around like mad things and artists turning up with fabulous paintings,…
