Welcome to the Croydon Art Society Website 
The Croydon Art Society was founded in 1881 and is believed to be the oldest art society in the country outside central London. Our aim is to encourage the practice and extend the audience of fine art. These days we are a diverse society of over 80 members consisting of local professional and amateur artists who work in a wide variety of mediums from watercolours to ceramics! 
The Croydon Art Society hold regular meetings on Monday nights in Shirley.  Meetings include peer reviewed critiques of members works, life drawing sessions, demonstrations and much more. Meetings are also a great place to meet other artists, share tips and learn new techniques. 
The Croydon Art Society hold regular exhibitions throughout the year at various local galleries. Our annual summer exhibition is held at Denbies Wine Estate in Dorking. We hold social events throughout the year including an annual Christmas lunch. 
Members are able to attend all meetings and exhibit their work with us at all exhibitions. So if you are an artist and you are thinking of joining, we would love to hear from you. Please follow the link below and we look forward to welcoming you soon.
