| This website tells you about our activities,
shows you examples of our members’ work and, if you are a
fellow artist, invites you to join us. |

|
| The Circle was formed in 1948 by a group
of friends who decided to meet together to paint and draw.
Today it has around 100 members. |
|
|
| Our Winter Programme runs from October
to March when we meet once or twice a month on a Saturday
afternoon to paint or draw still life or the human figure
in the studio. These workshops are currently held at the Clifden
Centre of Richmond Adult Community College in Twickenham.
We also hold a critique of members’ works and occasionally
have demonstrations and illustrated talks by professional
artists and lecturers. |
|
|
| In the summer we meet fortnightly on
a Saturday morning to paint or draw the landscape at various
local outdoor locations. Some of these meetings mix painting
with social get-togethers. |
|
|
| We hold at least one exhibition each
year allowing members to exhibit and sell their works. Additionally,
members may submit works to exhibitions sponsored by artsrichmond
(Richmond upon Thames Arts Council) to which TAC is affiliated
|
|
|
| We offer two categories of membership.
You must be a Full Member in order to submit work for exhibitions.
If you do not wish to exhibit, you can take part in all other
activities as an Associate Member. New members of either category
are always welcome. We would particularly like to see more
younger members and also sculptors and potters as well as
painters. |
|
|
| We are very happy for prospective new
members to come along to one of our Winter or Summer Programme
sessions, without any obligation to join. |
