The Horowhenua Art Society was formed in 1949 as the Levin Art Club. In 2003, the Society became an Incorporated Society.
Over the years there have been many temporary sites, but in 2006, a decision was made to build anew so the extensive fundraising began.
Finally, in 2008, the Society moved into the new purpose-built, future-proofed Art Rooms. In these there is good heating, concrete flooring, a well-equipped kitchen, wheelchair access, excellent light and plenty of space to create.
The Art Society is a membership-based society for artists of all abilities to paint, draw, and create together. Exhibitions are held throughout the year, each with a different theme.
The AGM is held in February or March, where the committee and executive are nominated for the year. This is a great opportunity to get more involved with the day to day running of the Society.
Workshops, demonstrations and classes take place at various time of the year. These foster talent, often hidden, in a relaxed, informal setting.
Social events are held from time to time that are well supported.
Don't worry if you have never painted before - just come along and have fun creating your own masterpieces. Our friendly members will help you get started.
