We have been able to exhibit well over 100 original paintings created by our members in each annual exhibition over the past few years. The children of St Andrews School, Buckland Monachorum will also have their best work on display. This year marks the 40th anniversary of the start of Buckland Art Group. Members vary from total amateurs to professional artists, working in a variety of media including water colours, acrylics, oils and textiles, with a shared passion of painting and creating for pleasure. Whilst the numbers have fluctuated with passing years, a core group of enthusiastic ‘pleasure painters’ return year after year.
Buckland Art Group meets on Mondays and alternate Thursdays in the Village Hall and during the summer there are field trips to local venues whenever possible. Our aim is to paint every session either individually or under guidance, for we are fortunate enough to count among our members several who exhibit regularly and who frequently give their time for demonstrations. We also invite established local artists to take us out of our comfort zones by helping us to explore different media or methods, thereby opening new avenues of creativity for members.
