ArtSoc - University of Surrey

ArtSoc - University of Surrey We are a society at the University of Surrey devoted to providing a platform to create and share our members' artworks. Everyone is welcome! So don't be shy!

Permanently closed.

ArtSoc started in the house of Christopher Webb and Ben Lee as 'MArt Group' (Mini Art Group) running weekly sessions in which those interested would simply paint/draw whatever their hearts desired. It wasn't long before the group outlived its 'mini' status, becoming too expensive and far too big to be run privately in Chris' bedroom. In search of more money and space, Chris and Ben went recruited

a team and went to the Student's Union. Now, they are 'Art Society' running two sessions a week; a so called 'free' one in which members are at liberty to use the equipment without restraint on their creativity, and another 'structured' one, in which the committee chooses a focus for the members to keep in mind when making their produce. Once a month, to keep our 'M' in our name, we have a 'Mega Art Session'; a big community based activity to which everybody contributes. This could be anything to 'Paint Dart Art' to colouring the grounds outside a large block of buildings and are evidently more messy than our weekly sessions. We're working on a collaboration with both the University Art Gallery, in an attempt to provide a platform to display members' creations, and CraftSoc, a similar society who were very supportive when we were starting up in the Uni. At the end of the year, we plan to auction some volunteers' paintings off to new owners and give the money to charity. We certainly have big plans for this Society! We have sessions on Fridays 18:00-20:00 in Lecture Theatre A. It doesn't matter if you are good at drawing, all that is required is enthusiasm! We provide art supplies ranging from pencils and crayons to water colours and acrylics. Come on down and let's get our art socks on! Follow us on Instagram:
Here we will upload scans of members' creations!

Hey everyone. To finish off our film, we need some drawings of the stag which roughly fit the frame and proportions of this picture. If you already drew one during our filming session at the stag, please take a picture and send it to us!

Thanks everyone!

Change of plan, art soc today will be in LTA because our normal room is being used for exams. Sorry for the inconvenience

As some of you may know, A film is being made about our society by a film studies student. At some time between 6:00 and 8:00, we'll be going out to the stag statue to record some footage. You don't have to be in the film if you don't want to, but if you would like to be in the film then please bring some art that you are proud of. We'd like to show it to the world!

Thanks everyone, see you there!

Hello all!

Tomorrow evening is our AGM! It will be at 6pm, in room 20AC03, just around the corner from our usual room.

We don't anticipate the AGM taking up the whole two hour session, so we plan to go to our usual room afterwards to continue on and have a mini session.

If anyone is wanting to go for a committee role, prepare your speech!
If you're interested in the society, please come along to vote!

Thank you and we look forward to seeing you all tomorrow.

Hello all!

We have just been made aware that we have sold out of all our Bob Ross tickets!
We're thrilled that we're going to have such a good turn out and meet so many new faces.

Love,

ArtSoc Committee
