Welcome To Peterborough Art Society - The Home For Local Artists

Thank you for visiting our site. We were established by a group of local artists in 1929 lead by W V Garrard who was Art Master at the local Kings School. The society was to promote and encourage local artists to improve and exhibit their work.

We continue that same ethos today, in encouraging all ages and all experiences to join us in our love of art. We are a very diverse and active society and welcome all newcomers to our Society, whether you just have an interest in art, or you are an amateur or professional artist, you will be given a very warm welcome.
