Community Art Group - Grange

So proud of our Art Group today❤️ The exhibition was wonderful and the comments from our visitors were so positive and encouraging. Thank you to everyone who came to see us and our art work, and talk to us about what we do. We are very much looking forward to the coming year, growing and progressing in our new room ‘The Art Space’.

In preparation for our exhibition I asked for some feedback from our members on what our Community Art Group meant to them.
The responses brought a tear to my eye!🥲

Our Annual Summer Art Exhibition is taking place on Saturday in the Grange Baptist Church Community Rooms. 12.00 to 6.30. We have been busy preparing our art work to share with you.

We are a very happy, creative and welcoming group of artists of all abilities. If you would like to find out more about our group take a look at my website:

About

Hi, I started this fundraiser, Grange Community Art Group, on GoFundMe and it would mean a lot to me if you’d be able to share it with people you know who may be able to help or donate to it.

This half term’s creations have been inspired by Matisse. First of all we created collages then worked in groups to make collaborative printed pieces. Lots of mess.. and lots of fun!🫟

🫟🎨 We spent a lovely morning at Gloucester Library today. Looking at the Art, Design and Craft books to get inspiration and information. Back to Grange next week to apply what we have learnt today 🎨🫟

We took part in ‘Drawing for Wellbeing Day 2026’ for our session today.



A simple drawing activity led to us really talking and listening to each other. It was quite wonderful to be a part of.

Who would have thought that what was intended to be a half an hour activity ended up taking an hour and a half with moments of reflection, connection and mutual support. We left the session knowing each other a little bit better.

After many years of teaching art I am still amazed by the power it has to touch us and improve our lives.

‘This morning was a real mindful session. Listening, finding out about each one of us. Art is amazing, it takes you away from everyday troubles as you focus on what you are doing. A great valuable morning.’ Community Art Group Member
