Free Art sessions at the Art Hub .

11am to 12:30 pm


These sessions are for Adults (18+)

These sessions are specially to encourage those that may be more isolated to try something new, arty, engage with others and improve their well being.

All are welcome but please be aware that because these sessions are primarily funded to support the well-being of people in their community who may experience loneliness, they will be collecting feedback on the positive benefits of the workshop on your sense of well-being.

They are free to attend and you can just pop in if you wish but they would like to know that you are coming along so please book online on their website to let them know you are coming.

Please note there is a £2 firing charge for any of the ceramic sessions in this series to be paid directly to the artist (to allow for their electricity costs).

City Arts Newbury is the place to come and feel welcome and find your creativity!

City Arts aim to promote, maintain, improve and advance education and appreciation of the arts in all forms in West Berkshire and the surrounding areas. 

To promote social inclusion for the public benefit by preventing people from becoming socially excluded, assist them to integrate into and contribute to society.

It was created in 2015 by Claire Struthers-Semple and Isabel Carmona with the aim of providing a friendly and welcoming place to learn, share, teach, collaborate and exhibit art.

A place where people could come together and enjoy Art in a friendly environment.

On Friday mornings you are able to take part in Friday Art Sessions which are free and a way to meet new people while trying various art techniques.

These sessions receive funding in various ways so they can pay the artists delivering the sessions fairly.

There is always an exhibition to see at City Arts, and they are free to visit! 

They offer affordable exhibition space to artists and collaborate with local schools and projects to showcase creativity.

There are opportunities for artists to submit work for their Open Exhibitions each on a particular theme.

Check their programme of exhibitions to check what is on offer .

They are proud of their involvement in the community and run seasonal free and low cost events. 

With their commitment to the community, they have a strong ethos of equality and inclusion.

Their flagship Chalkfest event takes place every August – they take over the Market Square in Newbury and enjoy brightening up the pavement!

A competition of the chalk drawings is judged by a local artist with prizes for different age groups.
