INFO ABOUT THE CLUB
MAIN WEBSITE: www.mcqart.com/has
If you have any queries about this site, please email me at webmaster@mcqart.com with your questions. I'm eager to help in any way I can.
Horwich Art Society
The society (or "art-club" as its otherwise known) has been in existence since 1996 and members meet up once a week to paint, learn and generally socialise at a local venue.
The club was formed by Morton Murray, Alan Platt and Brian Ellison at the Horwich Resource Center and later moved to the Holy Trinity Parish Hall on Church Street. The club is well attended and thanks to the varied age group, has a lively, welcoming atmosphere.
What Do We Have To Offer?
The first and most obvious benefit of becoming a member of the H.A.S. is the pleasure of being with other people who share your love of art. The group is warm and welcoming to new members and we're sure you'll make lots of new friends.
For a couple of hours each Friday (7-9pm) you can relax and enjoy the pleasures of your hobby with no interruptions - apart from a break for tea and biscuits!
Most members bring a piece of work along with them and simply paint! Others sometimes group together to share their individual skills with one another. There's always someone to help out a beginner!
Whilst at the club, you can take advantage of our wide range of facilities which include....
ART MATERIALS
Watercolours
Water-based oils
Soft Pastels
Various papers and canvas
Sketching materials
Charcoal
and more!
STATE OF THE ART MOUNT CUTTER
With tuition in its use and advice on mounting and framing your paintings.
WELL STOCKED LIBRARY
A sizeable collection of books, videos and magazines to give you inspiration!
PROFESSIONAL DEMONSTRATIONS
Throughout the year, we have various professional artists in attendance to demonstrate their skills right before your eyes! These are extremely popular and are always very well attended.
COMPETITIONS
Occasionally, we have a painting competition which gives everyone the chance to win a great prize. Criteria for judging is designed to reflect the different skill levels of the members.
DAYS OUT
During the hot summer months (do we have those?) we occasionally arrange to paint outdoors at one of the many scenic locations which grace the towns of Horwich and Bolton. There's always enough drivers to take those members who don't have their own transport.
INTER-CLUB ACTIVITIES
Now and then we'll enjoy the company of members from other clubs in the Shire. Again, another great way to meet people and pick up on new skills!
EXHIBITIONS
We organise a number of exhibitions each year, giving you the opportunity to promote and sell your work to the public.
WEEKLY RAFFLE
Every Friday we have a raffle (tickets 20p) and there's always a great prize to be won.
SUMMER BARBEQUE
Once a year, we lay down our brushes and pick up our burgers and glasses! A great evening enjoyed by all.
CHRISTMAS BUFFET
Always the last event of the year!
So, no matter what your age, no matter whether your an experienced artist or an absolute beginner, there's something for you at the club! Email us now and start enjoying yourself.
