BATH SOCIETY OF ARTISTS

1904 - ?

The Bath Society of Artists was founded in 1904 with twenty-six foundation members. It has always had a link with the city, with the mayor and members of the Victoria Art Gallery Committee as honorary members and the director of the Gallery is an ex-officio member of the executive Committee. Many distinguished 20th century painters have exhibited and taken an interest in the Bath Society of Artists including Adye Mary Fedden (1915-2012), Adrian Lewis Ross Heath (1920-1992), Patrick Heron (1920-1999), David Inshaw (1943-), Sylvia Packard, John Singer Sargent (1856-1925), Walter Richard Sickert (1860-1942), Gilbert Spencer, Philip Wilson Steer, and many others and today the membership stands at around 120. The annual exhibitions, which are open to non-members, is held in the Victoria Art Gallery, Bridge Street, Bath for five or six weeks during the spring and summer. For many members it has been the main function, but the Society also organises receptions, lectures, private views, loan exhibitions and a members' exhibition which is held during the winter. Other Suffolk artists who have exhibited with the Bath Society of Artists include Gabriel Joan Carruthers, Christine Lester, and Patricia Theodorou.
