The New Longton Village Hall has been the venue for the New Longton Artists since 1979 where we have developed excellent working and exhibition facilities, i.e. large exhibition hall(s), custom made display screens, spot lighting, projector, Audio equipment  etc

 (See our “Programme” ).

Membership is currently open and we welcome those with ambition to develop their artistic skills.

New Longton Artists have, for over 25 years, hosted the “Central Lancashire Fine Art Fair”.

This prestigious two-day event has proved very successful and historically takes place around October/November.

The fair attracts up to 30+ accomplished artists who are invited to display and sell their work over the Weekend.

On work nights we have two studio rooms open and use of the Main Hall and full building amenities during our Annual Exhibition.

We have a Library of “Art related” books and videos for member use.

 Videos are available for viewing during Work Nights.

Our membership ranges from beginner hobby painters to accomplished artists and the Society attracts members from a wide geographical area.

During the Summer months, we have a programme of “Outdoor Painting Days".

For full details of the Outdoor programme, including maps and times, see the “ Outdoor Painting ” tab above.
