We are a friendly art club with over 50 members and welcome new and experienced artists of all abilities and painting styles. We also invite guests to join us and attend our demonstrations and other Club activities.
“Creativity is contagious, pass it on”, said the great Albert Einstein and we at Henfield Art Club agree. Founded in 1982, we offer opportunities to get together, talk, socialise and enjoy and encourage the practice of painting or sketching whether at our fortnightly Art Afternoons or through our programme of monthly demonstrations and workshops from professional artists. Occasional journeys into the countryside in the summer, to paint ‘en plein air’, add to the creative adventure.
In the Henfield Hall, members exhibit regularly in the Committee Room, at the Henfield Garden & Arts Festival in June, and at our annual exhibition in October. We all work in different media – watercolour, oils, acrylics, pencils, pastels, digital - as well as sculpture, woodturning and fused glass. We have a good lending library and a stock of practical DVDs which members can be borrow.
Our website offers an insight to Club activities and a has a Gallery of members work. Our Facebook page gives further opportunities for members to share their creativity, and we produce a monthly digital newsletter to keep members in touch.
Whether you are just starting out or are already a seasoned artist – just come along as a welcomed visitor to one of our Tuesday evening demonstrations and enjoy a compliamentary glass of wine and a very inspiring and instructive evening. Guests are very welcome (£6 on the door) to come along and see what it’s like.
We look forward to meeting you at the Henfield Art Club.
