OUR ART GROUP

The Group was originally formed in 1977 as the Nelson Independent Art Group Inc. and the name was changed in June 2005 to ART GROUP NELSON INC.

​

The fostering and encouragement of artists from raw beginners to experienced professionals has been the main aim of the Group. There is no selection process for joining the Group and all members are able to display their work in Group exhibitions.

MONTHLY MEETINGS

Monthly meetings occur on the first Wednesday of the month, 7:30pm - 9pm (check Events for venue updates) (no meeting in January).

 

Meetings take the form of a social evening with perhaps a guest speaker on an art-related topic, a hands-on creative session led by an experienced artist, helpful discussion of members' work, or a video of some art form.  The evenings conclude with 'Show & Tell', where the members share their work, gain invaluable feedback and have the opportunity to talk to other members.

​

A monthly Newsletter keeps members informed of forthcoming meetings, exhibitions, tutorial workshops, open painting days and other items of interest.
