UNITED SOCIETY OF ARTISTS

1921 - ?

The United Society of Artists was founded as the New Society of Artists in 1921, originally established as an art organisation aimed at giving artists living outside London the opportunity to exhibit in central London. The Society is based in Carlton Terrace, London holding its annual exhibition at the nearby Mall Galleries. The United Society of Artists brings together contemporary artists whose work covers a broad spectrum of style, subjects, and media. Several UA Members are members of other recognised national art societies including the Royal Institute of Oil Painters, Royal Society of British Artists, Royal Society of Marine Artists, Society of Women Artists and the Wapping Group of plein air painters. In addition, work of a professional quality in all media is exhibited under its auspices at other galleries in London and throughout Britain, with many of these exhibitions being open to non-members. Election to the Society is based on the production of a satisfactory portfolio of work. A newsletter 'News and Views' is circulated to members several times a year. Suffolk artist members include Dorothy Zinaida Duval, George Robert Hunt, Henry Hay Hunter and Clive Madgwick.
