ABOUT OUR SOCIETY
Carlisle and Border Art Society (CABAS) usually meets each Monday evening to paint, from 7-9 pm.
Our venue:
Denton Holme Community Centre
Morley Street
Carlisle
CA2 5HQ
This is a warm, well lit hall, which is an excellent place to paint.
Club meetings gives us a chance to meet up with other members, while continuing with your current art project. We are a friendly group, and enjoy a break part way through the evening, for a cup of tea or coffee and a chat. This is a chance to view what other artists are creating in an informal way.
Other activities through the year include exhibitions, demonstrations, workshops, painting picnics, a Christmas meal together, and occasional visits to places of interest to artists. From time to time, our Monday evenings are used for an invited artist to demonstrate their techniques to us. We have also formed a special relationship with a professional local artist Robert Brindley, who comes to a few meetings to observe and provide helpful feedback as we work.
If you are interested in joining the art group, or just want further details, please email
David White at david561white@gmail.com
or Dave Goodfellow at goodfellowdave@gmail.com.
Anyone who is interested in painting can join, whatever their level or their medium. Members range from beginners to those making their living through their art. Although we don’t offer tuition, there is always someone ready to offer advice and encouragement. We can also put you in touch with tutors in various media.
We have a page Featured Artists, giving a sample of work with a brief commentary by individual artists.
There is also a Painting of the Month page, where you can see recently added pieces.
To give you a taster of the variety of work by our talented artists, here are some examples from our recent Tullie House exhibition in May 2023:
