​WELCOME TO FAIRFORD ART SOCIETY

​
Dear Members,
 For some of us there is to be a little more freedom but for many of us we still have a couple of weeks to go and even then we may not be allowed out yet,  I fear this is going to rumble on for a good time. 
Just to update you, there will be nothing happening during June, as I am sure you are expecting,  there will be no AGM in July, this has been cancelled and will take place in Dec, hopefully if a room is available on our regular meeting date.   We are hoping to return to  our regular meetings in Sept, and the program has been arranged with that in mind,  but we will have to go with whatever conditions at the time allow.    By moving the AGM to Dec we are extending our year and membership fees will be due at that time, this should, we hope compensate for lost demos etc.     There will be no Exhibition this year as social distancing would be too difficult to manage in the setting up etc and will people really want to attend.???  This is in line with what other local societies have decided.      Still hoping to save a couple of outdoor sessions later in the year depending on the rules at the time.  
Please continue to use the Serendipity and fb page by sending in your paintings.   Serendipity is a lovely page and I hope Colin will continue to include this page when all this is over.   It is great to see what you are doing with your lockdown time and submissions do not have to be the latest painting.  Let us see some of your lockdown projects.
Missing you all, the company,  the fun,  the challenges,    the chatter and the inspiration and helpful comments that our meeting bring to the fore.    Take care,  keep painting  and stay safe.

​WHO WE ARE

​We are a group of enthusiastic leisure painters who meet regularly to share ideas, techniques, and motivation. The aim is to enjoy our common interest in a relaxed, friendly, and supportive environment. The Society has been active for 43 years, and so we have many years of experience.

​
OUR MEMBERSHIP

The Society has a membership of about 40 living in Fairford and the surrounding area. New members are always welcome, and can attend any of our Get Together Painting Sessions or Demonstrations as a "drop in"  guest. So, if you are thinking of possibly joining us, come along and say hello, you can be sure of a very warm welcome. If you go to the Membership section of this website, you will find more detailed information on membership. 

 
​
WHAT WE DO

We currently run Get Together Painting Sessions four times a month, together with monthly Workshops or Demonstrations by expert artists in their own particular field. The recent addition of Outdoor Painting Sessions during the summer months has proved very popular. In addition to these regular activities, there are occasional social events, and an Annual Society Exhibition. 

​​If you go to the Programme section of this website, you will see what is currently on offer for you to enjoy.
