Our latest forthcoming exhibitions
| In the leadup to Christmas we have managed to secure two new interesting venues with excellent footfall for exhibiting and selling your art works. We do hope that you will take advantage of this opportunity. EXHIBITION OPPORTUNITIES 2024 Following members’ leads we are able to offer opportunities for exhibiting this year. These spaces have been reserved and we need to confirm our acceptance before the end of this month therefore we would be grateful if you could take the time to respond by Wednesday 23rd October. This will give us time to work out finite details before the beginning of November. SPACE NO. 1 – SUNDRIDGE PARK STATION The manager of the station wishes to enliven the station and make it a part of the community by offering it as an interesting area and not just a transport hub. He has offered us several opportunities and this one hopefully will be the first of many. This area is suitable for disabled access. We will be displaying art for sale and BAS advertising material in the ticket office. The office is open for the morning commute until 11.00 am, thereafter it is locked but they will provide us with keys so that we are able to man the area at any time. It is our intention to definitely open it during any Christmas events Sundridge Park Neighbourhood Committee may be holding and we are looking to blanket advertise in the community, i.e. pub, tea rooms, schools and the Church. We have reserved 11th November 2024 to 2nd January 2025, this is to capture Christmas events. We understand that fuller information will be required before you commit but we would like to know if you are interested in principle. |
 SPACE NO. 2 – UPPER FLOOR OF SHOP IN EAST STREET BROMLEY The shop is in a main street of Bromley with a heavy footfall. The downstairs offers a creative, welcoming and interesting atmosphere. Within the exhibition space workshops for adults and children are held regularly and this will add to our exposure. The owner of the shop does not want to actively become involved in marketing our exhibition but will be adding it to her Instagram and street board. We shall reciprocate by including her details in our Socials. In both of the above venues we are looking to sell original, framed art, no prints or browsers. The space does not have disabled access, the stairs are quite narrow. We have reserved the area from 15th November for 4 weeks. Again, this is to take advantage of the Christmas period and the owner may consider opening on Sunday 17th November when Bromley celebrates the turning on of the Christmas lights. Again, these are the briefest of details but we are anxious to calculate interest in principle. SMALL EXHIBIT AND CRAFT OPPORTUNITY. We have an offer of a table at St Andrews Church on 7th December and we are looking to sell small items, i.e. jewellery, cards, small craft items, bags etc. Please let us know if you are interested. Hanging will be undertaken by the Exhibition Committee in both locations. Neither the staff at the station or the owner of the shop will be involved in the sales, this will be undertaken by the Exhibition Committee. We are extremely grateful to both members of the Society who introduced us to these opportunities and hope that you will support us by providing your pieces for sale. Please respond by email to bromleyartsocietyevents@gmail.com expressing which venue you are interested in. Also, if you can only exhibit for part of the time it is possible that we shall be able to accommodate this too.   |
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 on the first Friday of 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. If you are a member and wish to know more or advertise your classes please let us know through the membership email you would have been provided when you signed up.
Please revisit this site frequently for news, updates and details of forthcoming events.
