This year the weather has been mostly clement, with members of the Society enjoying the outside painting meetings which took place across the region. A big ‘thank you' goes to Gill Dollery our Principal who has worked hard to organise the outings. We are also very grateful to Nicky Verrecchia, a resident of Rowlands Castle for taking on the role of Vice Principal.
The Society is now meeting in the Parish Hall, Links Lane, Rowlands Castle for a programme of meetings full of variety to keep all the artists busy and involved. New members are very welcome to join us and now is the time to enrol. If you’re interested, visit the website for further details. You do not have to be a resident of Rowlands Castle to join.
The meetings are held on Tuesdays from 2pm to 4pm (Life drawing) and on alternate Tuesdays there is a workshop from 2pm to 4pm, followed by an evening demonstration by a visiting artist 7.30pm to 9.30pm. These are open to the public who are welcome to attend, there is a fee of £2 to non-embers. Members can also look forward to the Christmas Party, always a great evening, with a Holiday painting competition and a Christmas card competition with a lovely buffet and refreshments provided. The Spring Exhibition and Sale takes place on the 15th and 16th March 2014 and is an excellent opportunity for the artists to showcase their work.
Rowlands Castle Painting Society membership is open to all regardless of ability. It has much to offer, bringing like-minded people together to pursue a common interest in Art.
