2 August 2025 – 30 August 2025

A vibrant exhibition, bringing together an eclectic group of artists united by their love of painting. With subject matter ranging from landscapes, portraits, local scenes and botanical studies, there’s something for everyone.

All the paintings in the exhibition were produced by class members, and most are available to buy in order to support future Painting For Fun sessions.

Painting For Fun is a weekly water-based oil painting session at Shieldfield Art Works. The group is open to all adults, and is completely free – all arts materials, tea, coffee and biscuits are provided. The aim of the group is to be creative, relax and have fun! It’s a no-pressure creative environment. Every year, we have an exhibition celebrating the group’s painting endeavors. Find out more: saw-newcastle.org/painting-for-fun/
