Lincolnshire Artists' Society

The Lincolnshire Artists' Society is 103 years old and started life as the Lincoln Drawing Club. The Society aims to promote among its members high standards of achievement in drawing, painting, sculpture, crafts, architecture and allied visual arts.

The society holds regular exhibitions showcasing the work of members as well as lectures and workshops. Early in 2008 the society held a very successful exhibition at The Usher Gallery and, in the autumn, the society broke new ground when members' work was exhibited at the nationally renowned Patchings Arts Centre near Calverton in Nottinghamshire for the first time. 

The society has traditionally only exhibited at The Usher and other galleries in Lincolnshire, but in order to take the creative talent of Lincolnshire artists to a wider audience, the society is now exhibiting outside the county. This year's spring exhibition will be held at the Beverley Art Gallery from 2 May – 13 June.

Frank Marston, Chairman of the Society, says: "It is a great privilege for the society to be invited to stage an exhibition of the work of its members in Beverley and I am very pleased that we have the opportunity to show the work of our talented Lincolnshire artists in a different environment and in a different county. This is a trend we hope to continue."
