ARUN SOCIETY
Arun Art Society was founded many years ago and is a thriving group.
Members are drawn mainly from Ferring and the surrounding villages.
Members' backgrounds are varied but they share a common interest
in the visual arts and a passion for creating art.
MEETING TIMES
From September to April, the group meets every Wednesday morning from 10.00 am to 12.00 pm in the Club Room, and the Griffin Room at Ferring Village Hall.
From May to September members work outdoors at different local venues.
PRACTICAL SESSIONS - INDOOR
Members pursue their own topics or follow a set theme.
Members supply their own materials.
There is a programme of untutored sessions, such as still life, portrait or life drawing,
which are held in the Griffin Room or the large hall.
​
PRACTICAL SESSIONS - OUTDOOR
From May to September there is an outdoor programme when members meet at different locations,
usually within twenty miles of Ferring, on Wednesday mornings from around 9.30 am.
The venues include gardens, waterways, parks, village scenes, historic sites and grand houses.
​
WORKSHOPS AND DEMONSTRATIONS
Demonstrations and workshops are held throughout the year, usually on a Saturday.
Both are led by professional artists who share their skills and enthusiasm.
They can be physical meetings or held on Zoom.
Demonstrations are free to members; the fee for non-members is £5.
Workshops are held at local venues.
As part of our partnership with Arundel Art Society, members have free access to each other's
demonstrations and some other arranged events.
​
EXHIBITIONS
The Society holds at least one exhibition a year when members celebrate
their achievements and share their work with family, friends and the public.
The annual subscription is £50. There is no additional session fee.
Demonstrations are free for members. Workshops are priced individually.
Arun Art Society partners with Arundel Art Society for mutually beneficial events.
