Brightwell Art Club

Started by a few keen amateur artists in 1994, the art club meets on Saturday mornings in the village hall during school terms, with its own art teacher in attendance.

Members work in a variety of media, with skills ranging from absolute beginners to more experienced painters. All benefit from the help and guidance of Michael MacGregor, who has a National Diploma in Design and is a fully qualified art teacher.

After mounting a small but very successful exhibition of paintings as part of the village's VE Day celebrations, the idea of staging an annual art exhibition evolved. This is now firmly established in the village's annual events calendar and is held at the beginning of December.

Should anyone be interested in joining this happy band, there is currently a small waiting list, but call Olive Sutcliffe on 01491 836063 if you'd like to know more or would like your name added to the list.
