The event celebrated the exact day 125 years ago when the Swansea Art Society was founded. This article about the Victorian-themed event last Saturday appeared in the South Wales Evening Post on Tuesday 24th May (reprinted courtesy of the newspaper).
Several more events are planned in this year's outdoor sketching programme - we hope that all members will do what they can to support the society's efforts to collectively congratulate ourselves after 125 creative years and spread the word to new prospective artist members.
Members can purchase a high quality copy of the printed photo if they wish by following this link.
The first event of this year's Outdoor Sketching Programme took place last Saturday in the grounds of St. Mary's Church.
To commemorate the society's 125th anniversary, members turned up in Victorian costume (or their variant of it, anyway) and painted from easels.
Lots of passers by expressed interest and we all had a lively time - thankfully the rain stayed away.

Within an easy walk you will access views worthy of placing onto paper, as many professional artists have done over the centuries, i.e. seascape, beach scene, people, cliffs, pier and oddities (e.g. the restored Green Apple) etc.
