Our 2025 exhibition at the Horsebridge Arts Centre will be from Wednesday 12 March to Monday 23 March 2025.
The theme chosen is This Creative Life.
We hope that members of the Society will be able to interpret this in a variety of ways. The theme should challenge you, but give you freedom to choose the medium and subject - aim for the best work that you can create. If you have been inspired by any of the demonstrations to try something different, you have nine months to have a go.

During his later years, the artist Henri Matisse found that he was physically unable to paint, so he began cutting out paper figures - "drawing with scissors".
On Wednesday 10 July, Carol Miles and Julia Parker will run a meeting looking at Matisse's collage techniques. Please would you bring brightly coloured paper, scissors and some glue (such as a Pritt Stick).
