About Bromley Art Society

Bromley Art Society was formed in 1947 to bring together local painters and sculptors, art teachers and students, and all who share an appreciation of the fine arts.Most of its members are amateur artists working in a wide variety of media; oils, watercolours, acrylics, pastels, gouaches, pen and ink, prints and batik.

August - The Broomlians

The Broomlians will be exhibiting at the What If? Gallery in Dartford from Friday 15th August - 29th August. There will be a preview on the evening of the 15th from 6.30 pm.

The newly formed Broomlians is a group of artists drawn from several interconnecting artistic strands in Bromley. The interests, styles and media of the group are very diverse. The following artists will be represented:

  • Gilly Hewstone
  • Jill Reardon
  • Christine Richards
  • Chris Turner
  • Jeremy Wolfe

August - Derek Burt and Allan Davies: Two Kent Artists

Derek Burt and Allan Davies have a show, "Two Kent Artists", at the George and Dragon Pub in Ightham during the 2nd weekend in August. The preview is on Friday 8th from 7pm onwards. The show itself lasts till Sunday evening (10th August). There is Kent Beer too, I see from the website. Allan recommends the good food at the Pub and says it makes an ideal opportunity to combine food and art.

Site update, July 2008

The programmes that are used to build this site are updated quite frequently by their authors. Occasionally this is done to provide new features, but more commonly this happens to improve security in the face of some new challenge.
