Originally formed in 1947, the Dorking Group of Artists has over 180 members. It is a thriving, non-profit making society whose members enjoy practising their artistic skills, expertise and interests in the company of friendly like minded companions. The Group meets weekly all year round for Summer and Winter programmes of painting and tutorial sessions which include demonstrations, workshops and critiques. These sessions are well attended resulting in good creativity and good friendships. The DGA holds two exhibitions each year. The Annual Exhibition is held at Denbies Wine Estate in Dorking and the Spring Exhibition is held at Betchworth Village Hall. Both exhibitions are very well attended and continue to be very successful due to the very high standard of work on display. They give Exhibiting members an excellent opportunity to show and sell their work and collectors a unique opportunity to purchase recent original work by local artists at very reasonable prices.
The Dorking Group of Artists meets on Tuesday afternoons at Beare Green Village Hall from September through to Easter. Membership is open to artists of all abilities, from beginner to professional and costs just £20 per calendar year. The activities programme is varied and includes workshops and demonstrations. (Outdoor painting and sketching during the summer months).
