Charlbury Arts Membership is now over 200

Thirty-five years ago, a handful of artists started the Charlbury Art Society to support and encourage the visual arts in the town. Membership has grown steadily over the years and now exceeds 200.

With monthly talks and demonstrations, two exhibitions each year, workshops, and outings there is a full programme of activities for both artists and people interested in looking at and learning about art. Annual membership is still only £10.

At the beginning of this year the Charlbury ArtRoom was opened in the Corner House to provide a shared creative space to make art and network with others for a very affordable membership fee. This summer Charlbury Arts organised the third Charlbury Festival with a full programme of music, drama, and literature as well as art.

Over half the members are not practicing artists but just enjoy being part of the art world and joining in the activities with other art lovers. People from outside Charlbury are very welcome with over a third of members living in the surrounding area.

If you would like to know more about Charlbury Arts or to join this lively, friendly, sociable group then please contact David Crosby secretary@charlburyarts.co.uk
