Welcome to our new website.

We like to think of Chelsea Art Society as London’s most friendly art society (as well as one of its oldest), and we welcome submissions to our annual Open Exhibition in Chelsea Old Town Hall from artists of any age and any background. Our aim is to encourage the practice of Fine Art in its many forms, whether sculpture, painting, printmaking or drawing, as well as offering an opportunity for artists to show and to sell their work.

This year has been an exciting one in the development of the Society into one of London’s most vibrant and energetic art societies. We have added a new event in our annual calendar, the Sloane Stanley exhibition for members only, along with the new William Sloane Medal worth £1000 for the best work in the show. Our Friends organisation is expanding rapidly and we hold parties, sketching evenings and drawing events to encourage greater participation in the Society.

Outside of exhibition time the website provides a useful link to our members’ work and individual websites. And it is easy to sign up as a Friend of Chelsea Art Society by following the link on the Friends’ page.

We look forward to welcoming you to one of our shows very soon, whether as an exhibitor or as a visitor, and – who knows? – perhaps even as a collector!

With best wishes

Luke Martineau
President
