Monthly meetings at the Fencible Lounge

Club meetings are held on the fourth Wednesday of every month at the Fencible Lounge, Uxbridge Road, Howick next to the Howick Library. They are well attended by both Associate and Working Members who are keen to share the passion they have for their craft or to learn the techniques of the variety of mediums available to the artist today.

Demonstrations are done by mainly local artists but occasionally a visitor will come from further afield. All are willing to pass on their tips and information learned over many years. A workshop is often offered by the artist within the following two weeks and are very popular.

These are very enjoyable and interesting evenings ending with light refreshments and supper, an opportunity to peruse the demonstration up close and to ask more questions of the demonstrator. A library is also available on the night to borrow art DVD’s, books and magazines for one month at a small cost.

Our monthly meetings are also a chance to get to know other artists in our local area and to make some lifelong friends. Many members have taken up painting as a hobby in later years, some are self taught, while others are learned in this area and/or are currently taking lessons or are professionals and have painted since their childhood. Howick Art Group is a group for all ages and levels and where everyone is welcome.

President’s Letter

Hello members,

It is my honour to have taken on the responsibility of president for the group. A big thank you to  Margaret for doing such a good job as president for these past years. Also thank you to all the  committee members who are stepping down from their responsibilities this year. Your contribution  has been greatly appreciated. And a big thank you to all those who have stepped up and taken on  committee roles or unofficial roles. I’m so impressed with all the people that chip in and make an  effort to see our art group thrive.

Our next meeting will be the Christmas Party! This will be held at the Fencible Lounge on Wednesday, 27th November at 7.00pm. Please bring a plate of food to share. Drinks will be supplied. There will be a  competition for the best table centrepiece, so get your creative juices flowing and bring something fun  and festive. This will also be our last meeting of the year. Our next meeting will be in February 2020.

Thank you to all those members who have paid their art group fees. For those who haven’t, please do  so ASAP. This will ensure you are able to participate in all the group’s activities.

See you all at the Christmas party.
Elise De Silva
