DEWSBURY ARTS GROUP
THE VISUAL ARTS
Life drawing sessions are held regularly throughout the year at which all members are welcome. Whilst no tuition is formally available at these sessions the regular members are always available with helpful advice for the beginner.
The Group also sponsors art talks and film evenings throughout the season. Further details about any of these events can be obtained from the Arts Secretary or from the Group's Secretary. For contact details see the Contacts page.
Ever since its formation in 1963 Dewsbury Arts Group's aim in furthering an interest in the Arts has embraced the Visual Arts. The first major presentation by the Group was, in fact, its first Art Exhibition held in Dewsbury Town Hall in October 1963. The Annual Exhibition, now a Summer event, has been staged each year since then in Dewsbury Town Hall. Another major Exhibition of Artist Members' work is held annually in the spring under the auspices of Kirkless Cultural Services and in recent years this has been held in Batley Art Gallery.
