Formed in 1948 and meeting in Mudeford, the Guild has almost 100 members ranging from leisure artists to professionals. A wide range of styles are represented in their work in all media.

 

Over recent years the Guild has gained an enviable reputation for the high standard of work produced by its members some of whom have had paintings accepted by top London galleries and also sold through the Summer Exhibition at the Royal Academy. Examples of such work can be seen at the Highcliffe Castle show within the eclectic selection of pictures on view.

 

Furthermore, during the event various artists will be “in residence” on occasions providing an on-site painting demonstration which may encourage ‘would be’ artists to act on a long self-promised intention to take up the brushes and maybe also join the Guild.
