Art - Dorchester and District u3a

Dorchester U3A Art Group

2021 Update

Given the current circumstances, the Art Group has continued to operate and meet in between the three covid lockdowns. Borough Gardens provided a superb, sheltered and sunny venue for our socially-distanced en plein air sessions in the summer. More recently in the autumn months, we have been fortunate enough to meet indoors at the Brownsword Hall, which has proved to be an ideal facility with ample space and well laid-out tables and chairs. We look forward to returning back to our usual classroom venue at the Trinity Centre.

Throughout 2020 we have kept in touch and remain a very friendly and informal group of artists of very mixed experience and expertise, who tend to choose our own preferred style of art and media. New members for 2021 will greatly appreciate the support and encouragement of the group in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere.

It is hopefully envisaged that the Art Group will be able to team up again with the U3A Weaving group for another exhibition of our year’s work in the local art/hobbies shop (Frank Herring & Sons) in Dorchester.

Once things are a bit more back to normal it is planned to visit a couple of local sites to extend our creative experience and challenge our artistic talents outdoors weather permitting!

Just keeeeep painting!
