The Club aims to promote interest in all art forms and to supports its members with practical demonstrations that help them to develop their skills and ideas. Formed in the late 40's the Wednesbury Art Club has had its ups and downs. In the early 1950's the original Wednesbury Art Club was forced to disband due to insufficient members. In 1989 the late Mr. Len Middleton M.B.E the president of the Wednesbury Society of Arts arranged a meeting with the aim of re-forming the disbanded group. The meeting was held in Wednesbury Town Hall, and this thriving art club has gone from strength to strength. The Art Club meets fortnightly 7:00 - 9:00 pm on Monday evenings, the artists get together, and alternate practical evenings with demonstrations from local and regional artists on techniques. The Club holds its Annual Exhibition at the Wednesbury Art Gallery at which the Art Club Trophy is awarded for the best submission, the Trophy is held for one year. John Ashmore; Vice Chairman for the club said; "Our club is going from strength to strength, and we always welcome new members. The demonstration evenings, when leading professional artists demonstrate and explain their method of work, are open to visitors". For more information please contact John Howell on 01922 683304.
