Abergavenny Art Group
Abergavenny Art
group celebrated its 80th year in 2017. It always
welcomes new members! We meet twice monthly on a Monday evening
and if you appreciate art, we think you should join us.
Our group of community artists meet to work together and critique each others work. The mutual support and encouragement given has seen this group grow and their skills increase.
The above painting is by Katherine Jordan and is titled Beachscene after Ken Howard. The painting appearing below is called Aspects of Orsay by John Hurst.
Our members are like minded people who get together to discuss their work and exchange advice and tips, professional artists who want to encourage and help others develop their skills, amateur artists who want to improve their skills, and beginners who want to learn to paint, draw or express their ideas on canvas. We have an extensive and interesting library of art books, videos and DVDs. Our reading and video libraries will enable you to improve your work and learn new skills in the quiet of your own home.
If you live in Abergavenny or the neighbouring towns of Govilon, Llanellen, Blaenavon, Brynmawr, Blaina, Gilwern, or Crickhowell, why not come along for a visit and watch us work. It does not matter if you are a beginner or a professional artist. We are a friendly bunch of people and welcome all ages. Details of our programme of events are given.
The Art Group's Programme of events includes talks and demonstrations in various media. Jantien Powell (left) gave a demonstration on including figures into landscapes. Wood sculptor Neil Gow has given a presentation about his many pieces of work utilising tools from chain saws to chisels.
We have a yearly exhibition of the paintings and artwork of our members. Entrance to view the exhibition is free.
