PIRBRIGHT ART CLUB was started in 1999 by art tutor Maggie
Read, as a way of continuing art sessions for her students during the long
breaks between Adult Education terms. Since then, it has developed
into a thriving and successful club with a reputation for excellence
in the presentation and quality of work on show at it's exhibitions.

Dates for 2012 :
Railings Exhibition - Saturday July 28th; Annual Exhibition - Saturday 1st and Sunday 2nd December
Our Annual Exhibition was held on December 3rd and 4th, 2011 at the Lord Pirbright's Hall, Pirbright, Surrey. The exhibition was very successful and a large number of paintings and mounts were sold.
Maggie Read (www.maggieread.co.uk) took part in the 2011 Surrey Artists Open Studios event. This event allowed visitors to gain an insight into the working practices of various Surrey artists through visiting their studios, viewing finished work and having the chance to discuss the artist's techniques used in their creative processes. Maggie's studio is located at The Mayford Centre, Smart's Heath Road, Woking. For further information see the Surrey Artists Open Studios web-site.
At the end of July, 2011, we held another successful Railings Exhibition, our annual outdoor show, outside Lord Pirbright's Hall in Pirbright, Surrey. Apart from the sun shining, the day was also notable for the many sales of club member's work which were made.
The 2011 winner of the Pirbright Art Club's "Most Improved Artist" was Frank Fuller, who received his award (pictured left) from Maggie Read at the Club's 2011 December Social. Frank has been with the Club for 4 years. The award was introduced in 2004 in memory of Maureen Green, a founder member.
