Membership subscription is £75 per year, payable annually or in three installments: September, January and April; this includes refreshments during sessions and entry to art demonstrations, to which guests are also welcome (£5.00).

A few of the many things members say about Frome Valley Art Group:

“It has been a pleasure to meet like-minded artists at Frome Valley Art Club.  We swap ideas, have regular workshops and artist demonstrations – and socialise a bit too!”

 “Becoming a member is one of the best things I have done where my art is concerned. Made to feel welcome from the first visit, it is through this social and friendly group I have seen my work improve exponentially, and I would never have considered exhibiting or running workshops had it not been for the encouragement and support from everyone.”

“My first real exhibition but not my last!”

“Great exhibition, great club.”

“Thoroughly enjoyed watching Mike Skidmore [demonstration] last night. Very informative and entertaining.”

“We all support each other’s achievements through friendship and kindness. Many of our “in house” workshops are over-subscribed which is a testament for the desire to learn and try out different media, methods and equipment.”

“By attending the group I discovered my passion in art and it has allowed me to develop and open my eyes to different techniques and the world of art. I have met wonderful people who are incredibly friendly, knowledgeable and inspirational.”
