NOTICE of ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING, 2024
This important meeting for all members and the Committee is scheduled for 14:30 on Saturday 11 May 2024 at St Catherine’s Village Hall. The more members who attend, then the better meeting it becomes.
It will contain reports from Committee members about the past year and plans for the rest of 2024. There will also be elections for new members to join the Committee to fill existing and coming vacancies. Our constitution has also been modified to reflect recent events and needs approval by the AGM.
If you would like to support a particular activity area, then you can volunteer or join the subcommittees or working groups by invitation from the organizing committee officers. You will be welcome.
Also, if you would like to take committee office, it is time to think about standing. You can look at the formal role descriptions document to see what may be required and to talk to other committee officers for encouragement and support. We have vacancies and there will be more.
More details about the AGM will soon be sent to each member, with the agenda and accompanying documents.

WHO WE ARE
Guildford Art Society began in 1923 and has a current membership of 204 artists, amateur and professional. The Society has a very interesting history. We have been exhibiting since 1925. If you would like to know more, then click here for an article on this. We are an open and social as well as creative organization. You can also look at our recent history page under the News page.
We were established to encourage the visual arts, painting, sculpture, and crafts. To that end, the Committee arranges physical and online demonstrations, outdoor painting days, workshops, and exhibitions. Members also get together informally and organize their own events, social and craft related in their own groups.
The purpose of this open website is to present to the public and our members, our news and information about events, to show members' artworks in our online galleries, and to give guidance on making contact with us.
