In June, DGA member Tessa Spanton had a painting at the Mall gallery's Society of Women Artists fundraiser in aid of Breast Cancer Now.

In July she had a painting in A Patchwork of Paintings at Gallery Tresco, Scilly, delivering the painting by boat! This exhibition raised almost £7300 for The Island Haven charity.

DGA member Colin Twinn's painting ‘Grey day at Itchenor’ has been selected to be exhibited in the Royal Society of Marine Artists Annual Exhibition at the Mall Galleries. The exhibition starts on 19th September closes on the 28th.

Denise Doran had her painting, “Breakfast with Strawberries”, accepted by the Chelsea Art Society in their recent annual exhibition at the Old Town Hall, Chelsea. Even better, the painting sold and went off to a new home.

We are delighted that Alan Brown also had three paintings accepted by the Chelsea Art Society in their recent annual exhibition at the Old Town Hall, Chelsea. One of the paintings is a dancing scene at the Old Floral Hall in the Royal Opera House inspired by visits there to dance Ballroom and Latin American to the resident ROH band. One of the other paintings is a less well known view of St Ives - a lovely light catching the side of buildings by the harbour.

We are delighted to announce the winners of the prizes awarded at the DGA's spring exhibition, in Betchworth Village Hall. Photos of the winners and their paintings are here.

The visitors' vote was won by Sara Lucas for the painting Seascape 1.
Brian Ingram won the Pullingers award from Pullingers Graphic and Fine Art Supplies.
The prizes donated by Denbies Wine Estate went to John Hutchens (1st); Douglas Winter (2nd); Sara Lucas (3rd).
The Barbara Johnson Memorial Award went to Denise Doran.
Colin Twinn won the prize from Cassons Framing.
Allison Graham won the visitors' vote prize from the autumn 2023 exhibition.

We are delighted to be sponsoring the charity DAiSY at our spring exhibition in Betchworth Village Hall 3rd-6th May 2024. DAiSY supports D/deaf, disabled and neurodiverse artists in Surrey. Paintings by our members who meet on Tuesdays will be on sale at a very reasonable price in aid of DAiSY - come along and check them out!

April 2nd 2024: two paintings by DGA committee member Denise Doran have been selected for the Society of Women Artists Annual Open Exhibition in the Mall Galleries in June. They are 'Walkies' and 'Summer Teatime'. Congratulations, Denise!
