WHAT OUR MEMBERS SAY:
Nicole Russell
The Art Group Nelson has been a great inspiration for me and my own artistic development. I especially enjoy the monthly meetings with different guest speakers. Every guest speaker has something special to offer and I learn new things every time. Also, the encouragement we get from show & tell, where the members share their work is incredibly valuable. Thank you to the Art Group for being such a welcoming and lovely group
Christine Harvey
Being a member of the Art Group Nelson, has been a great learning time for me, with very affordable art courses offered and helpful advice. Also the opportunities I've had to take part in exhibitions, and meet other artists too.
I am thrilled to be a part of the art group community.
Art Group Nelson is a great link which connects the community through art, providing workshops, tutorials and exhibitions.
Great work, thank you.
I have been a member of the Art Group now for about a year and oh my what a great bunch of artists, very friendly, welcoming and willing to share their knowledge with other members. Being [As far as i know] the only woodturner amongst painting artists Ihave gained knowledge about what paints can be useful on my woodturning products. I enjoy the club nights and guest speakers and getting to know more of the art group members. I really enjoy the show and Tell as being the only woodturner I think it is a different art form where I can use acrylic paint on wood.. I look forward to the spring and Queens garden exhibitions. I also recently joined the committee and look forward to being involved.
