We are open to all from beginners to professional to bring artists together by offering opportunities and activities for all our members. All we ask is for you to enjoy meeting like minded people, join in, exhibit if you wish, and support us in some way. Our society is non profit seeking and run entirely voluntarily by members. Please note that we do not offer tutored classes but we have weekly art sessions and occasional workshops in the summer. Some of our members also offer classes.
About Us
Bromley Art Society was formed in 1947 to bring together artist of all types including local painters and sculptors, art teachers and students, and all who share an appreciation of the fine arts.
We have a good mix of professional and “amateur” artists working in a wide range of media: oils, watercolour, acrylics, pastels, pen & ink, print, digital, batik, clay and mosaics amongst others.
Exhibitions
Each year the Society stages major public exhibitions in the Bromley area and beyond. They provide an excellent opportunity to display original works of art and to find buyers. Exhibitors pay a small hanging fee plus a percentage of their sales to the Society.
Demonstrations and talks
An essential element of the Society’s programme is a series of practical demonstrations of various mediums and techniques and illustrated lectures by experts on art and artists, these monthly meetings are currently held online but, would normally be held in a set Bromley location once each month.
Social art sessions
Weekly drop in art sessions are held on Wednesday between 10am to 4pm in Bickley Church hall. It is open to all Bromley Art Society members and cost just £26.00 per month (£6.00 per session ) or £10 an individual session. Whilst each of the group is itself the tutor and pupil, they are supervised and everyone is very friendly and helpful.
“Art Matters” discussions
Periodically we hold a monthly Zoom based “Art Matters” meeting which responds to a theme or sometimes discusses matters of interest. This is a lively informal group with work being shared by being held up to the screen, with no pressure to “do your homework”.
Members classes
Several members hold classes and information about these can be found on our website on the developing “Members advertisements” page or on request.
