Dotted everywhere around this fine country are other such wonderful Art Clubs - usually not for profit organisations made up of passionate volunteers whose committees maintain their rooms, organise classes, exhibitions, events and more.
Tucked away in a quiet suburban street - the Napier Arts Club Inc |
I've just been reading through the latest Napier Arts Club newsletter and I just love this comment when advising of their regular group get-togethers.."Club members are encouraged to gather in informal groups to encourage one another, and share their skills and experience in their chosen media. Although these times are set aside for each group, there is no formal tuition, and no requirements other than a willingness to participate in the pleasure of art making"
Now you don't get more inclusive than that!

Do you have an Arts Club in your neck of the woods? Tell us all about it (info@newzealandhandmade.co.nz) and we can share it here too.
