Keswick Society Of Art

Keswick Society Of Art is based in Keswick, Cumbria, UK in the heart of the Lake District.
The Society was originally formed in the 1960’s but was disbanded after a comparatively short time. However, at the request of ‘interested people’ Canon K M Bishop inserted two notices in the Keswick Reminder calling a meeting in the Crosthwaite Parish Room, with the object of reforming Keswick Society of Art. The meeting was held on Friday February 28th 1975 with Canon Bishop in the chair and an attendance of twenty three people.
It was unanimously agreed to proceed and the members of the first committee were:
Chairman- Canon Bishop, Secretary- Mrs Hinkley, Treasurer- Mr Beadle. In addition there were five other committee members.
The initial annual subscription was £1.50. Meetings were held in the winter months and from the start a varied programme of talks, demonstrations and critique sessions were arranged. Refreshments were served at a cost of 5 pence.
