WINCHESTER ART CLUB
The Winchester Art Club was founded in 1919 when it absorbed the earlier Winchester Fine Arts Society which had existed since 1888 with the object to encourage contemporary and traditional art in Winchester. Not having its own premises and not teaching art but provides a full programme of activities each year including demonstrations by professional artists, appraisal of member's work by professional artists, and lectures. Most of the members are painters, and they also welcome print makers, sculptors and woodcarvers, and artists who work with fabrics. Members range from complete beginners to experienced artists, with several semi-professional and professional artists. The Club holds three separate exhibitions a year, including an annual exhibition at the Gallery at The Arc, Winchester each autumn and they hold two further unjudged exhibitions at the local hospital, each exhibition period of ten weeks. Suffolk artist exhibitors at Winchester include Alice Margaret Bryson, Caroline Louisa Pickthall and Robert Sadler.
