The group meet at 7.15pm to 9.15pm every Wednesday EXCEPT the 3rd Wednesday of the month at Gibson Lane community Centre. The fee is £15 a quarter, which includes refreshments. Since it started in October 2010, members have enjoyed watching demonstrations by Professional Artists plus, how artist’s brushes are made, with the opportunity to buy at reasonable prices. They have held 2 exhibitions at local Summer Fairs, one at the medieval church of St Mary, Kippax and the other in Kippax North Primary School. A group also had a day out in Ilkley where they went to an Art Materials Exhibition. Other activities are under discussion.
