about

Hertford Art Society

Since 1953 our aim has been to encourage an interest in art and provide opportunities to practice, study and exhibit art in Hertfordshire.

We bring people together, whether practitioners or academics, professional or amateur, to share their love of art and develop and learn. Enjoy working with us both indoors and in the open in any medium.

We encourage new Members to grow as artists and get comfortable with exhibiting.

In addition to a varied painting program we include social events, including gallery visits, Christmas Party, New Members welcome party, quiz nights and more.

Our programme gives Members the environment, education and encouragement to improve and develop their skills.

Visit our exhibitions or commission work and buy a painting to enjoy for the rest of your life.
