Bury St Edmunds Art Society

Bury St Edmunds Art Society is one of the largest and longest-established art societies in Suffolk being established for over 70 years now.
(3)

The Society was founded in 1946, with membership open to professional and amateur artists in East Anglia. The aims of the Society were to organise exhibitions of original paintings and to further the development of the visual arts and interest in their study and practice. Bury St Edmunds Art Society is a lively society, with members working in an ever-widening range of media, including: painting -

in watercolours, oils and acrylics; drawing; print-making; sculpture (although we have no sculptors in the Society at present). The Society's membership comprises people from all walks of life and includes many for whom art is a pleasurable pastime, as well as a number of distinguished professional artists (for whom art is a pleasurable occupation!)
