Where to find us
Walton Art Club meet every Wednesday evening from the beginning of September through to the end of May each year at Elm Grove Hall, Hersham Road, Walton on Thames, KT12 1LH, from 7 until 10pm. The hall is situated behind the main Elm Grove building which houses the Stagecoach Theatre Co. next to the Cinema.
Whether you are interested in Oils, Acrylics, Watercolours or just Drawing, why not come along and give it a try.
There is always someone on hand to give help and advice ....don’t worry if you can’t draw a straight line (most of us can’t) we will guarantee that you will enjoy the evenings and come back for more, and who knows you may be one of the lucky ones to sell their masterpiece at our annual Exhibition which is held, every year, during the May Bank Holiday weekend at The Riverhouse Barn in Manor Road.
Our Aim
The aim of the club is to help people to enjoy Art in a relaxed friendly atmosphere, there is no vetting and anyone is permitted to come along and have a go. The annual fee is £17, to help with the cost of the hall, with tea/coffee and biscuits provided during the interval for 30p.
On the first Wednesday of each month we invite a guest Artist along to give a demonstration, as these guest have to be paid for and their travel expenses covered, an admission charge of £2 for members and £3 for non members is made on the night, this also includes a number of raffle prizes and tea/coffee & biscuits.
