Who we are
Founded in 1923, Guildford Art Society has been bringing artists together for over 100 years. What began as a shared passion for creativity has grown into a welcoming community of over 200 amateur and professional artists, all connected by a love for visual arts, crafts and creative expression.
Since our very first exhibition in 1925, the Society has continued to inspire, support and celebrate artists of all backgrounds and abilities. From painting and sculpture to workshops, demonstrations, outdoor painting days and exhibitions, we create opportunities for members to learn, connect and grow creatively together.
More than just an art society, we are a social and supportive creative community. Through this website, you can explore members’ artwork, discover upcoming events and exhibitions, learn more about our history and find out how to become part of Guildford’s thriving artistic community.
What Our Members Say
"The Society has helped me to meet lots of like-minded artists and exhibit my artwork along with them."
Therese
"I thoroughly enjoy the lively, friendly atmosphere of all GAS events: from the varied programme of interesting and informative workshops and demonstrations as well as opportunities to paint and draw together. The exhibitions and pop-up sales can prove very fruitful!!"
Lou
"I only joined recently but have learned so much about the art world around me. I’m excited about the Summer Exhibition and only since joining have I sold so many paintings. I used to paint 2 or 3 times a month, now I paint 2 or 3 times a week. Love it. Thank you GAS."
