Hallam Art Group was founded in 1974. We aim to provide local artists with mutual support and to promote creativity. We meet weekly on Thursday evenings in the HYCA community hall. All are welcome, whatever their artistic ability – an interest in art is the only requirement. Although we don’t offer formal tuition, the group includes many experienced artists who are glad to share experience and tips.

We have a vibrant programme of activities including still-life, life-drawing, studies of artists, and discussion of video tutorials and DVDs. We hold an informal Hallam Portrait Artist of the Year, and we also hold workshops on various topics from both visiting artists and our own members. Current members work in a range of media from oils, watercolours and pastels to pencil, ink, crayons and collage. 

We hold two very popular exhibitions a year – one in Sheffield Botanical Gardens over the first Bank Holiday weekend in May, and one in the community hall in the autumn. There is no selection process – all members are encouraged to exhibit. We exhibit around 200 paintings of a very high standard. We also sell unframed work, cards and crafts.

The Group has a comprehensive library of books, DVDs and magazines.

We have an Instagram account and a WhatApp group.
