The Guild, founded in 1953, aims to bring together all those interested in visual arts and the crafts. This is achieved by arranging a number of activities for members throughout the year.
Made by Hand is the title of our Autumn show coming up. This is a new departure for the Guild in that it will only be craft work. It opens on Saturday 12th November and runs until Tues 22nd November.
Landscape painting days are arranged in the summer months and indoor painting workshops are held during the winter, usually on a Friday, mostly at the Remenham Village Hall.
Occasionally, other locations are chosen. A tutor is in attendance both on landscape days and during the
winter workshops, although this practice is varied from time to time according to popular demand. More recently, other activities have been introduced into a more varied programme (e.g. video mornings, factory visits etc
An
annual exhibition of members' work is normally held in the autumn; there is also a smaller, more selective, exhibition in the spring. Pictures hung and craft displayed at the spring exhibition are usually chosen by someone who is an accepted authority on fine arts and who is not a member of the Guild. Both exhibitions are held in the Old Fire Station Gallery, Market Place, Henley-on-Thames.
See the exhibitions page for up to date information about other exhibitions that are on now or are coming up next year.
