Details:
Stevenage Arts Society (formerly known as Artists' Co-operative)
is probably the most active amateur art society in the
country with at least three exhibitions each year and
working groups meeting on most days of the week. The
society has its own gallery, pottery, workshop and private
studios in its headquarters at Springfield House in
Stevenage.
Artists' Co-operative was conceived by a group of Stevenage
painters and born in 1968 with the stated aim of "Fostering
the Arts in Stevenage". A totally amateur, non-political
and democratic organization, the co-operative is run
by an executive committee which is elected each year
at the annual general meeting.
Membership of the society is open to anyone interested
in participating in the fine arts and willing to abide
by the society's rules and customs. An annual subscription
of £15 (£12 for OAPs and full time students)
is levied and anyone attending working group meetings
is asked for a small fee at each attendance. Members
are kept fully informed of the full programme of Events
and Activities organised throughout the year.
You don't have to be a great artist to join but you'll
be welcome if you have a sense of humour and a genuine
desire to pot, paint, draw, etc.
