Group Information
The Peninsula Art Society is a friendly and vibrant, not for profit organisation consisting of approximately 600 members. They are proudly run entirely by volunteers and provide excellent tutelage in a wide range of classes and self help groups to suit all levels and all mediums.
They also cater for those interested in life drawing, portraiture, outdoor painting, art for young people, textile arts or writing. In addition to these activities, they also organise trips away for a few days of plein air painting.
They invite visitors to their studios on any Wednesday 6:30 to 9:00pm or Friday 9am and 12 noon whilst their social painting sessions are on.
