Christmas Message from the Chair…
This Christmas, I’m certainly not going to suggest art homework to keep you at the top of your game. Nope, I’d advise gluttony and sloth combined with a few old films as a basis for spiritual improvement.
Should you be moved to seek artistic improvement , you’ll find it at the Lakeside Gallery on Nottingham University campus (beside a tram stop). There until the 5th January are two exhibitions by a couple of my favourite artists. Grayson Perry is showing a number of huge prints illustrating his personal psychological maps through modern culture. In a couple of rooms next door, there’s a wonderful collection of prints by Paula Rego based on nursery rhymes, Jane Eyre and Peter Pan.
It’s rare for Nottingham to have such riches on show for free, so grab a view while they’re here.
Far too enjoyable to be homework.
Wishing you all a great Christmas Holiday
Glenn Major (Chair)

GALLERY
Our new gallery is being updated with pictures available to purchase, also our Artists Bio’s where you can enquire about commissions, check back regularly to see updates.
The Society is based in Arnold, 4 miles north of Nottingham, U.K. It was founded in 1967 it is a non- profit making organisation that has around 80 members. Two exhibitions are held each year where over a hundred original paintings are displayed by our members.
Glenn Major - Chairman of the Society
For me, a society is strongest when all its members feel both strengthened by strong relationships and shared values, but also celebrated for the individual perspectives they bring. Arriving at Arnold Art Society you’ll immediately be struck by the former, lots of friends pausing for chats and coffee breaks. But look over a few shoulders at their paintings and you’ll begin to appreciate the diversity here. There’s certainly no ‘house style’ at Arnold Art Society! And we vary from ‘haven’t painted since school days’ through to the very accomplished.
It’s not an exclusive club – we welcome the arrival of new members and enjoy the wider community coming to enjoy the range of art we’ve created at our Spring and Autumn exhibitions.
Come and visit when you’re next in search of inspiration!
