Ringwood Art Society is a very friendly, active and thriving club with an ever growing membership.
We meet at Greyfriars Community Centre in Ringwood, on the 3rd Monday of each month, for a demonstration in a variety of different media.
We hold life painting afternoons and workshops in different media during the winter months and we meet to paint on location during the summer.
Our annual summer exhibition is held at Greyfriars during August and we have opportunities during the year to exhibit at other venues.
Guests are very welcome to join us for our demonstrations each month for a charge of £5.
Local pastel artist Barbara Rousseau has had her painting of a “Storm over Dubrovnik” accepted for exhibition at the prestigious Mall Galleries in London from 14 to 25 Feb 2012 by the Pastel Society. Her work was selected for exhibition from amongst hundreds of entries. Even though she has previously won the Society of All Artists (SAA) Artist of the Year competition in 2006, she looks on this accolade by fellow pastelists as the pinnacle of her career. Barbara will be exhibiting more of her work at Exbury Gardens with the “Four Seasons Art Group” from 9 April to 9 June 2012.
Not only do we have Barbara being accepted for this exhibition, but our Exhibition Secretary, Ann Squire, also has been selected.
It is the first time Ann has submitted work to the pastel society and is thrilled to have had a painting accepted. Ann says "To have a painting hung alongside the best pastel artists in the country at the Mall in London is an absolute honour and I can't wait to see the exhibition. I am also exhibiting at Exbury Gardens from the 6th April -10th June with Barbara."
We are very proud of both of you!
