History

Kineton Art Group was founded in 1986 by, amongst others, Rosalie Jordan, Peggy Shiner and Lyn Rayner. The early meetings were held in the local Scout Hut which, Lyn recalls, was "freezing cold". Finally, Peggy discovered that the Village Hall was available for hire and the fledgling Art Group promptly decamped from the Scout Hut to the warmth of the Village Hall.

Although no longer an active member of the group due to illness, Rosalie still maintains contact with the group and always comes along to our exhibitions.

Peggy is now well into her nineties but still paints with us occasionally, proving that a love of creating art can last a lifetime.

Lyn remains a constant and enthusiatic group member, her cheerful bonhomie enlivening most of our evening meetings.

Over the years, these founding members have encouraged and helped all our group members with their patience and support.
