WELCOME

The Arts Society Northamptonshire aims to open up the world of the arts for everyone to enjoy. We have a membership approaching 200 and pride ourselves in being an open, friendly and inclusive society.

We meet in The Cripps Hall, Northampton School for Boys, Northampton, for our ten monthly evening Art Talks which cover all aspects of the arts and are given by professional, Arts Society accredited, speakers from all over the country. We get together from 6:45pm over drinks and nibbles, members have the opportunity to make new acquaintances as well as catch up with old friends. Art Talks begin at 7.30pm and conclude around 8.45pm.

In addition there are several annual social events, cultural visits both at home and abroad and the opportunity to participate in volunteer projects.

Guests and new members are always very welcome at our Art Talks.

EYES ON US

The University of Northampton’s Third Year BA Illustration students present: EYES ON US - their Final Year Degree Show presenting artwork from all working processes.

The show at the University of Northampton, Creative Hub, room CH102 on June 19th, 20th, 22nd and 23rd. Visitors can enjoy a walk-through of extensive visual displays and experiences which have been the accumulation of the students’ three years of studies.

For those who feel that they can’t leave this experience behind, the students will be handing out exclusively made merchandise in reference to the artwork they have made.

The Northampton exhibition is free to enter.  

This two-part exhibition delves into the contemporary minds of our emerging illustrators. The 16 students will be showing off their respective practices that they have matured. Artwork of all natures will be displayed: comics, animation, publishing and much more. Some of these students have already garnered an audience through professional work; this includes designing illustrations for #1 New York Times bestselling author Chloe Gong as well as working with heritage funds such as UNESCO. This is an opportunity to see these rising illustrators and support their shared admiration for the arts.

The show is also featured at the London New Designers show at the Business Design Centre, Islington, London, 1st-4th July. The New Designers show has provided a space for graduates to present their inspired ideas to industry professionals as well as the public.
