About the Club

Walton Art Club meet every Wednesday evening from the beginning of September through to the end of May each year. at Elm Grove Hall in Walton on Thames. The evenings start at 7pm and run until 10pm.

Whether you are interested in oils, acrylics, watercolours, pen or pencils, why not come along and give it a try. There is a wide range of skills and mediums brought to each evening by our members, and there is always someone on hand to give help and advice. We are sure that you will enjoy the evenings and come back for more. And, who knows, you may be one of the lucky ones to sell a painting at one of our Exhibitions.

Our Aim

The aim of the club is to help people to enjoy art in a relaxed friendly atmosphere. There is no vetting so anyone can join as long as they have an interest in art. The annual membership fee is £20, with tea, coffee and biscuits available during the interval for 30p. On the first Wednesday of most months we invite a guest artist to give a demonstration. For these evenings, we have an admission charge of £3 for members and £4 for non-members which includes a raffle and refreshments.

Summer Painting

In the summer, we try to arrange a weekly programme of painting locations. Usually on a Wednesday, we meet at 10.30am, hope for good weather, perhaps with a picnic, for as long as we want to. If you have always wanted to sketch or paint en plein air but feel daunted by the prospect of being watched, then we can assure you that doing it in a group removes that feeling completely!

History of the Club

The Club was launched in 1960 when a group of budding artists completed a session of adult education, and wanted to continue to belong to a group but without the ongoing expense and repetition of the classes.
