Welcome to Hilton Art Club!

We are a friendly group of people who simply enjoy painting. We meet from 9.30am until 12.30pm on the third Friday of each month, during term times, at Hilton Village Hall and additionally out on location in the summer. We also have occasional tutorial workshops led by professional artists (non-members welcome for a small charge). Art books and DVDs are available for loan to members, as are some materials.

We welcome new members of any ability from beginner to experienced, and in any medium (watercolour, acrylic, oil, pastel, pen, graphite etc). If you are interested in joining our group, why not try a free taster session? You can see our programme for 2023-24 below and, to find out more and to get in touch, you’ll find our contact details there as well.

To get an idea of what we get up to, and to see examples of paintings by our members, have a look at our Facebook page where you’ll also find additional information on other art-related matters such as local & national exhibitions and workshops.

We hope to see you soon!
