Programmes
For our Winter and Spring Programmes, meetings are held on Tuesday evenings in the Abraham Dixon Hall at the Leatherhead Institute, 67 High Street, Leatherhead, KT22 8AH from 7.30 pm to 9.30 pm.
For all workshops please bring protective material for table or floor. For portrait/life drawing sessions please bring easel or draw on your knee
The Summer Programme is open to both members and those on our membership waiting list who would like to paint outdoors over the summer months. The weekly programme has varied days of the week as well as some evening sessions. These events are organised by club members and we meet in interesting locations with easy access. The highlights are when we meet at club members’ houses to paint in their gardens.
Confirmation and information will be sent every few weeks by email covering access, parking, toilets and, as some members need more guidance than others, suggestions for suitable equipment to take. We try to share cars where possible.
Do come, it's fun!

Exhibitions
The Club holds two main exhibitions each year. In the past these have taken place in locations ranging from vacant shops within Leatherhead town centre to the prestigious Denbies Wine Estate near Dorking. We have also exhibited at the beautifully restored Old Chapel at St John's School in Leatherhead. Our regular venues for future exhibitions will be Denbies in the Spring and the Old Chapel in the Autumn. Our Autumn Exhibition is held in association with the Mole Valley Arts Alive Festival.
All our exhibitions feature a varied selection of members' paintings in a wide range of subjects, both traditional and contemporary in style, at affordable prices.
We also now regularly participate in the Mole Valley programme of events held at the Leatherhead Institute in association with the annual National Heritage Open Days week. For this the Club puts on a small informal exhibition displaying a selection of members' paintings depicting scenes within the Mole Valley.
