| 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 120 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. Several demonstrations or tutored sessions
by professional
artists or teachers are normally included and an annual critique
of members’ work is also held. |
|
|
| 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 always welcome new members of whatever
background or level of experience (see Join
Us page). 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. |
