Welcome to
Hampstead Garden Suburb Artists

 ​HGS ART is a group of professional and amateur artists working or living in Hampstead Garden Suburb. It was founded, in part, in response to the closure of the Hampstead Garden Suburb Institute some years ago which left local artists without a forum at which to meet, learn and support each other.

Our members create a huge variety of paintings, drawings, jewellery, photography, textiles and ceramics. Please click on "Artists" to see numerous examples of our members' work.

​As well as our successful annual Art Fair, we hold talks and arrange outings and children's workshops. 

The Covid-19 pandemic meant that 2020 Art Fair had to be cancelled and other events planned for the summer could not take place either. The committee has been meeting via Zoom and used that platform to hold the AGM on 19th November.

Until life returns to normal, further online activities for members are planned including

"My Favourite Artwork" - 8pm on Tuesday 15th December 
Members will be invited to send in a photo of their favourite art work and talk about it to fellow members for up to five minutes. Full details will be emailed. (This takes the place of the Alex Halfin Challenge which was planned for that day since we felt it is an event best held when we can meet in person.)

In addition we have published a Lockdown Newsletter with examples of members' work created during the pandemic. (To read the Newsletter click on "Download File" below)

Of course we very much hope to hold our Art Fair in 2021 but this must depend on the state of the pandemic and the degree to which such events are permitted at that time. We have provisionally booked Fellowship House for 5th and 6th June 2021. Please keep an eye on this website for further news.

OUR ANNUAL ART FAIR
We held our first annual Art Fair at Fellowship House in the spring of 2017. We were blessed with sunny weather and surprised and gratified to welcome nearly seven hundred visitors over the two-day event.

In  no time at all the Fair has become a traditional part of Suburb life with similar numbers in 2018 and 2019. The event has been further enhanced by our association with the local branch of the military charity Combat Stress who have provided delicious cakes with tea and  coffee and, latterly, lunches as well.
