THE ETOBICOKE ART
GROUP is
a friendly
group of amateur and professional artists
who have been
meeting in Etobicoke since November, 1951.
Officially,
the aim of the group is "to further the best interests of
art", particularly in Etobicoke, through the mutual
and
co-operative efforts of our members.
Unofficially... we are
there to have a great time. We paint, sculpt, or draw, and
learn new
techniques while we make friends, hold exhibitions of our
work, enjoy
lecture evenings with lively
experienced speakers who share with us their artistic visions, raise
money for
bursaries for local students to continue their art education and generally enjoy
making innovative art.
Our
CLASSES AND
WORKSHOPS for
members are held in Studio
B in Neilson Park Creative Centre.
Studio
equipment
available for classes includes tables, chairs, easels, drawing horses,
both
large and small printing presses, slot-hood and overhead ventilation,
and a
variety of still-life materials. As well as a basic list of classes
held on
weekdays, we offer occasional weekend workshops. Some recent workshops
have included
encaustic, portraiture, abstraction, and landscape.
MEMBERSHIP is open to
everyone upon payment of the combined annual membership in Neilson Park
Creative Centre and EAG’s annual fee. Before registering in a
class or
workshop, you must be a member of the group and the Centre. No
membership fee
is required for students under 18 years of age.
Your
NEILSON PARK
CREATIVE CENTRE membership helps support our use of Studio B and the
other
Centre facilities.
