Current Projects
This years group project is a calendar for 2025 depicting seasonal scenes. Members are invited to submit an unframed picture of a seasonal scene. This can be in any medium but must be in landscape format.
Bring your entry along to the AGM on 5th September. The pictures for inclusion in the calendar will be selected at the AGM. Calendars will be on sale to the public at the annual exhibition and to members at our regular meetings.
Past Projects
Our 2024 project was ‘Shopfronts in Fareham’. Members painted the shopfront of their choice and these were exhibited together as a group at our 2023 annual exhibition.
In recent years we have run an annual art club group project where members each produce part of a larger piece of work.
We have completed some ‘wall art’ works in which our artists were challenged to produce a painted canvas based upon a small section of a well-known painting. When the individual squares were joined together, the bigger picture is revealed. Paintings have included Van Gogh’s Sunflowers, Gaugin’s Tahitian Girls and Cezanne’s Kitchen Table.
A very successful Shop Fronts project was completed with around 60 canvases of local shops displayed together as a street scene in Fareham shopping centre.
We have also produced calendars composed of seasonal and local scenes which were sold with profits donated to charity.
Fareham Art Group entered the first Art Club of the Year competition run by The Artist and Leisure Painter magazines and were one of ten shortlisted clubs whose work was displayed at the Patching’s Festival in Nottingham.

Our Lockdown project in 2020 was a group painting project which members completed at home. We created a collage of their contributions creating a large painting of Garrowby Hill by David Hockney.
In June 2020 we began our Summer Sketchbook Project to keep members busy during the lockdown period.
