Kidderminster Art Society AGM was held at Trimpley Village Hall on 23rd February 2023 at Trimpley Village Hall. Minutes of the last AGM were approved. The Chair gave a round-up of activities during the last year and proposed a new programme for the coming months. Members also put forward their suggestions and a new programme will be drawn up in due course. The Treasurer gave their report and although the Society’s funds had decreased it is still in the black.

After a quiet end to 2022, Kidderminster Art Society kicked off 2023 with a meeting at Trimpley Village Hall on 12th January. We were pleased to welcome a couple of new members and hope they enjoy the programme we are putting together for this year.

Our next meeting will be on 26th January at TVH and starts at 7.15 pm until approx 9.15pm and there will be nibbles provided by Jennie. New members are always welcome!

All members and their significant others are invited to a BBQ on 25th August 2022. Looking forward to a pleasant evening details of which will be emailed shortly. Hope to see you there!

We had a great evening life drawing with 3 teenage models. Not easy to stay still but they did a great job. Here are some of the sketches done by our members.

Dear Members, We will kick off the year with a socially-distanced gathering at the George Hotel in Bewdley for a bite to eat and an indoor sketching session. A provisional programme for the year will be made available to give you some idea about the proposed activities. Hope to see you there!

A fab evening was had with members learning about frottage, or rubbings. Member Tess demonstrated her methods of creating unusual and original art using textures and rubbings from everyday objects. Members were invited to have-a-go and bring along items that they had collected. The project will be continued at the next meeting on 25th November 2021, so do try to be there and see what you can come up with.

Despite a difficult year, KAS has managed to hold a few meetings and outdoor events this year. We now need to look forward to the coming year and start arranging our programme for 2022. Committee members are invited to meet on 2nd December to put forward their ideas.

The latest Newsletter is now available, see Newsletters link on the right.

The theme for our October meeting is ‘Leaves’. Interpret however you want. Bring your reference materials to our next meeting on 14th October and see what you can create. Here is Karen’s watercolour of abstracted autumn leaves to get you started.
