The story so far…
The Society of Fulham Artists was founded in 1952 as a not-for-profit organisation
‘to encourage the practice and exhibition of the work of local artists in association, and to attract and interest the public in the visual Arts.’ Membership is open to anyone over the age of eighteen living, working or studying in the Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham and neighbouring boroughs.
Our first Chairman was Michael Stewart, a keen amateur artist who was then MP for Fulham East, and who later became Foreign Secretary in Harold Wilson’s government. He was suceeded by Carel Weight, Professor of Painting at the Royal College of Art.
In 2003 the society combined with a local group of potters, giving us our new name,
‘The Society of Fulham Artists and Potters’. We are greatly indebted to the Borough
of Hammersmith & Fulham for sponsoring our twice yearly exhibitions at the
Fulham Library.
The Society welcomes a wide spectrum of abilities, encouraging both amateur and professional members to exhibit together at our two annual exhibitions, and share in
the eclectic mix of styles and talents. Other activities include lectures, demonstrations, drawing workshops, gallery visits etc, and there is a quarterly Newsletter to keep members in touch with what is going on. In addition, members benefit from discounts offered by a number of local firms. See our Links page.
Please select Artists’ gallery from the menu to see the work of some of our members, and explore the rest of the site if you would like to find out more about us or to apply
for membership.
