We are a flourishing group whose aim is simple: to foster interest in, and the practice of, the Fine Arts in and around Virginia Water. Membership is open to all, whether or not they are practising artists.The membership subscription currently stands at £15 per calendar year.
The Society meets monthly in the Community Hall, on the first Wednesday in the month at 7.45 for 8.00 pm. Each month, except December, we have either a demonstration of painting or craft, or perhaps a talk on a Fine Arts subject. In December we hold our Annual General Meeting followed by a party for members. During the year, the Society organises three or four outings to places of artistic, historical or architectural interest or to major exhibitions. We also hold occasional one-day workshops when members may paint together under the guidance of a tutor.

Each year the Society holds two events open to the public: firstly, a one day open-air exhibition on the green in front of the shops in Station Approach and, secondly, our Winter Exhibition in the Community Hall. At both of these there is an enormous variety of paintings and crafts on show, virtually all of which are available for purchase. There is something for everyone’s taste and prices will be found to be lower than for the equivalent work on offer in galleries. The dates to note for 2006 are:
Saturday, 10th June: Open Air Exhibition at Station Approach. Open 10 am to 5 pm. NB: One week later if rained off.
Some pictures from the summer Exhibition can be found by clicking here.
Saturday 2nd December and Sunday 3rd December: Winter Exhibition in the Community Hall. Open 10 am to 5 pm on both days. Any craft work bought may be taken at the time of purchase. Paintings are available for collection from the hall 30 minutes after the close of the exhibition.
