A Colorful Bunch

Cheshire Art League is a welcoming community for artists, art admirers and enthusiasts. We welcome all ages and all mediums. Our friendly group of artists are encouraging, supportive and open to all levels from beginner to professional. Our vibrant and active community offers, free and open to the public, monthly art demonstrations by professional artists, as well as presenters that support the art community. For our members, we have two shows annually, Fall "Art in the Garden Show" and Spring "Visual Arts Members Show."  We offer workshops, museum outings, bus trips, plein air paint outs and fun social gatherings. We also have free 0pen studio time for teens /adults at the Cheshire public library every Friday from 1 - 3pm,  *unless otherwise noted on library calendar.

Monthly Meetings and Artist Demonstrations

* date or week change

 No meetings in July, August or January

Free and open to the public -
LIBRARY IS CLOSED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE - NO OPEN STUDIO TIME
Every Friday, from 1-3, the Cheshire Library has graciously scheduled open studio time for teen / adults, upstairs in the loft (elevator accessible), who would be interested in painting along with other artists. Our art league is very excited to be to involved in this program!
The only request that we have is for the oil painters - please DO NOT bring turpentine. Turpenoide is an odorless agent to use in it's place. Bring your work-in-progress and supplies to this weekly drop-in art program. This is an opportunity to create in a collaborative environment with other artists. No formal instruction will be provided, but informal critiquing for those who welcome it is encouraged.
Cancellations/time change will be on the Cheshire Library calendar, and from our league.
We look forward to painting with you!
