The group
There has been an artists' group in Rochdale for 80 years and this group; Rochdale Artists was formed in 1987. It's objects are to advance the education of anyone living or working in the Metropolitan Borough of Rochdale, particularly in the field of the visual arts. The group welcomes new members of any experience and ability and currently includes members ranging from professionals to beginners.
Meetings
The group meets on Tuesday evenings at the Castleton Community Centre on Manchester Road. A full programme of events includes guest speakers and demonstrations. Most months there is a theme linked in some way to the demonstration with an appraisal of members' work later in the month.
Exhibitions
The group holds an annual exhibition during the summer at the Hollingworth Lake visitor centre, for which members may submit up to three works. In addition occasional exhibitions are held at other local venues.
