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.
