This is the Seaton & District Art Society.
The Society is based in Seaton on the South Devon Coast, which gives members the wonderful advantage of having both the sea, beach, and the beautiful Devon countryside for inspiration.
We have a full calendar in the coming year.
On the afternoon of the first Monday of each month, we have a demonstration by different professional artists at Colyford Village Memorial Hall, Valley View Ex24 6QJ. The demonstrations or talks cover watercolour, acrylic, oils, inks, coloured pencils, lino printing, sculpture and collage, and more. Check out the Demonstrations page for our diary.
On the other three Monday afternoons (2 – 4 pm) of each month, excluding August, we meet up for an art session we call ‘the Monday Club’ at the Seaton Methodist Church Valley View, EX12 2ST. This alternates between a live model, still life and a picture landscape, or you can bring your own project! See more on the Monday Club page! Everybody is welcome to attend either venue regardless of whether you are a member or not, although there may be a small charge.
During August, we take a break to have our Annual Exhibition in Seaton, which is open to the public (around 7 – 17 Aug 2025). Many members take this opportunity to display their stunning items and sell their work.
We’ve been honoured to have been asked by The Old Bakehouse B&B guest house, Colyton, to showcase our member’s fantastic artwork to their customers. Their guests will see the Society’s members work in the main areas of the B&B, which are for sale. The owner, Steve Warren, has written a great blog highlighting our talented artists. You can read all about it on their website at www.colytonbakehouse.com/blog
