About Us
The Ipswich Art Society is one of the country's foremost exhibiting organisations for painters, sculptors and printmakers and has played a distinguished role in the cultural life of Suffolk's county town since 1874.
Past members include Alfred Munnings, F.G.Cotman, Harry Becker, E.R.Smythe, Tom Smythe, Edward Packard, John Duvall, Colin Moss, Anna Airy and Leonard Squirrell.
In normal non-Covid times we hold a number of exhibitions throughout the year but sadly, some have had to be cancelled or put online for 2021. See the Exhibitions page for details.
- The Annual Open Call Exhibition for Members, Friends and the general public.
- The Anna Airy Exhibition and Award for young artists from 16 - 20 years of age.
- The Small Works exhibition for Members.
- Works on Paper for Members and Friends.
You don't have to be a practising artist to join us.
The Society welcomes all those who have an interest in the arts. Become a Friend and receive invitations to Private Views and other events while supporting the arts in the region.
