Brookdale club and Theatre: Art section

About us

Do you have a passion for painting? Whether you’re picking up a brush for the first time or you’re a seasoned professional looking for a vibrant community, we’d love to meet you!

What started in 1999 as a small trial has blossomed into one of the Brookdale Club’s most popular sections. We aren’t a formal class; we are a collaborative club where members inspire, support, and learn from one another in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere.

While watercolour is our most popular medium, our members experiment with everything from acrylics and pastels to pen and wash and water-based oils.

As a member, you’ll enjoy a rich annual program designed to keep your creativity flowing. We offer:

• expert guidance; workshops led by professional visiting artists
• inspiration outdoors; “en plein air” location painting challenges
• cultural trips; organized visits to major art galleries
• the chance to showcase your work; participate in our prestigious Annual Art Exhibition
• social connection: annual social events
• a library of books and instructional DVDs

The club also has a:

• bowling section
• bridge section
• luncheon section
• wine and food section
• travel section
• andante section
• gardening section
• line dancing group
• ramblers' group
• very large theatre group

We are open to all walks and ages of life.
