Ilford Art Society is highly respected in the local art community, with a history going back to 1925. Members range from beginners to experienced artists. The atmosphere at classes is informal, and there is a substantial social element to the Society's activities and committee life. We hold weekly classes on Wednesday evenings run by an experienced Tutor, and exhibit regularly at a range of venues.
We run art classes and demos

Art Demonstrations
Once a month we host a painting demonstration, showing artists' materials and techniques. These are usually well supported, and we are always introducing new and exciting ideas. We recently had Hashim Akib.
Costume & Life Models
During the year a series of life classes are also arranged. Our online gallery showcases Members' work. Paintings are available for sale, and commissions can be undertaken by individual artists upon request. We have regular life models and costume models.
Members are free to either work from the model if they wish, or to work on landscapes, still life or simply their own imagination - in a variety of materials of their choice.

Exhibitions
The Society holds a regular open air exhibition in Wanstead, usually held on a Saturday in Spring and Autumn, where members can exhibit their work Parisian-style displays along the railings along the High Street. There are paintings and sketches to suit most tastes, and the exhibition creates a lovely atmosphere. As well as being great fun, it also provides an opportunity for members to sell our work. A small commission helps keep fees low.
