About us

The Hallam Art Group has been meeting in the Hallam Community Hall since 1973. In our weekly meetings, our members encourage each other to develop skills in painting, drawing, oils, acrylics, watercolour, pastel, charcoal and graphite.

Our special sessions include life-drawing, still life painting, demonstrations from artists, lectures and video presentations.
