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.

Each year the Society stages major public exhibitions in the Bromley area. It also stages a series of Open Air one day exhibitions during the Summer. They provide an excellent opportunity to display original works of art and to find buyers. Exhibitors pay a small entrance and hanging fee plus a percentage of their sales to the Society.

An essential element of the Society's programme is a season of illustrated lectures by experts on art and artists and practical demonstrations of various media techniques held in the Verrall Hall, United Reform Church, Widmore Road, Bromley BR1 1RY.

On most Wednesday afternoons from 1:30 - 4:30 pm members of the Society paint together at Ripley Arts Centre, 24 Sundridge Av, Bromley BR1 2PX. From July 2008 there will be another session in the morning, from 10 am to 1 pm.

Every three months members receive 'The Easel', the news and views of the Society's activities with reviews of events and art exhibitions, together with articels and letters submitted by the members.

The Society is affiliated to the Bromley Arts Council.
