Learn how to mix colours, use different brushes and tools, and create quick and easy studies that can be used for cards, wall art or to keep in your sketch book.

This is a fun and playful approach where you will be able to try out all sorts of techniques and materials, and produce quirky illustrative images along the way – all under the cheerful guidance of Karen Carter.

Materials will be supplied, so just grab a cuppa, roll up your sleeves and enjoy a couple of hours each week playing with paint!

No experience needed – lots of demos and individual help – everyone welcome.

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.

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!
