There are records of the existence from time to time of an amateur `Art Club' since 1860 however, in December 1944 the `Farnham Art Society' was formed and in 1948 James Hockey, who in 1945 had taken over as Principal of the Farnham School of Art, commenced to dominate the Society scene. He introduced an enterprising series of programmed meetings and carefully selected exhibitions of high quality, so that membership and financial strength grew rapidly. The same broad pattern of activities has remained to this day with great success. Our Annual Exhibition shows work from our 250 exhibition members, often including Paul Banning, Roger Dellar, Jean Haines, Victor and Glynis Ambrus, Ashley Howard, Mike Bernard, Charles Bone, Katrina Evangelidou-Ellerby, Jean Robinson and Sally Northwood. A chance to see new work, purchased reasonably priced collectibles and enjoy the venue.
