Welcome
The Society of Ruislip Artists usually meet every month and we always enjoy welcoming guests and new members. At the moment, we hold our meetings at The Woodman (hall), Joel Street where we have demonstrations by professional artists. In the winter months we try to hold painting afternoons indoors whereas in the summer, we like to meet outdoors to paint and are very happy when people join us. We currently have an ongoing exhibition at the newly decorated Vito’s Cafe, Ruislip – our display was refreshed with new artwork by our members on 22nd September, find out more about our exhibition at Vito’s Cafe Ruislip.

We would like to let people know that sadly our President, Kay McGoay, passed away at the end of November. Kay had been a member of our Society since 1979, firstly as a member, then Exhibition Secretary before becoming our Chairman. We made her our President when she moved up to be near her family in Lancashire. Kay was a lovely, kind lady and a very valued member of our society and will be missed by all those who knew her. We send our condolences to her family.
