Art Society
Welcome to Art Society! We welcome students of all abilities and experience levels! We are aiming to create a welcoming and open environment where you can come and have time to create your own art, meet new people, and have access to new materials and ideas you might not have tried before! Our sessions are every Thursday in the study space outside Veg Out from 6pm to 8pm. We're a no-pressure society, and you certainly don't need art experience to join - just a passion for creativity!
We have art sessions running every Thursday from 6-8 pm in the space outside Veg Out. For these sessions, you can come at any time and stay for as long or as little as you would like!
How to get here? Walk into SUSU, past reception, down one flight of stairs, take a left and area should be right in front of you. Timelapse video showing directions available on our Instagram page @uosartsoc.
Each session will be loosely themed and we will provide the necessary art materials, however, you can bring your own materials if you would like, and you do not have to follow the theme if you have something else you would like to do.
To gain access to our sessions, please purchase a Semester 1 or Year Membership. However, if it's your first time coming to Art Soc then your session is FREE.
We will also be running extra events, socials and trips over the year, so keep a lookout for those on SUSU and our social media!
Please don't hesitate to get in contact with any questions, ideas or suggestions through our Discord or Instagram.
