2018 calendar
This is our second calendar with lots of our latest paintings and also featuring some of our new members. Supporting The Friends of Bandon Community HospitalWelcome to Bandon Art Group
We are a group of artists who meet every Friday in Bandon to paint together. During the year we have visiting tutors come to help us hone our skills, and to learn some new techniques, which keeps us on our toes! From time to time we invite local well known Artists to visit us, and tell us about their painting and their artistic journey and often they demonstrate their painting styles for us, which is really very interesting. We visit galleries in the area to be inspired by other Artist's work, and we hold two exhibitions of our own work a year. We also enjoy taking part in Kinsale Art's Festival and the Engage Art's Festival in Bandon, so our year is quite busy. we inspire to paint en plein air, but with the Irish weather, that's still on the to do list! 
If you are interested in hearing more about our group, please send us a message on our contact page.

Our members work in many different mediums - Oil, Acrylic, Pastel, Watercolour, Silk painting, Mixed media, Charcoal, Coloured pencil and Watercolour pencil. Which makes for great variety.
We all have our own favorite subjects, Cow portraits, textured work, Landscapes, Shoes, Flowers, Hens, Seascapes, Street scenes and Fruit to mention just a few, but we are always challenging ourselves and trying new things. We meet every Friday morning in the Parish Centre at St.Patrick's in Bandon, starting at 10 o'clock and finishing at lunchtime. It can be artistically challenging, or quite sociable depending on the mood of the day - or how close we are to having an Exhibition! We are lucky the Parish Centre has great kitchen facilities, as we can make ourselves coffee and tea etc. - to keep the creative juices flowing. |
