We welcome new members to the Cambridge Art Society and invite you to apply to join us.

When you become a member you join our enthusiastic, talented, sharing members who love their art and share their enjoyment and skills to enhance your artistic experience.  We encourage all members to share their skills and talents and participate in our club in any positive way to make it a very inclusive, happy and caring environment.

Here is a list of benefits that you will receive:

Bi-Monthly Newsletters
You will be included in our database and emailed Newsletters and other communications. Newsletters can also be uplifted from our clubrooms.

Art Room Sessions
Freedom to join the Open sessions at our ‘Painting Place’ or to choose your own time (except when there are classes or workshops being held. These will be listed in the programme)

Library Access
Borrow from our extensive collection of books and magazines.

Club Room Amenities
Enjoy complimentary use of the WiFi, Smart TV and Projector in our clubrooms. There is also tea and coffee and choc biscuit available to fuel your creativity (a small charge applies to replenish stock). There are desktop and standing easels available for your use, use of materials that have been donated, good lighting and warmth. 

Our Gallery
You are invited to hang your work for sale in our club room. Each month we change the theme to keep the walls fresh and varied.

Key to the Painting Place
You may purchase a key ($8 Charge applies) so that you can access the rooms outside of opening hours.

Exhibitions
Opportunity to exhibit your work at our two public exhibitions. A 'members only’ exhibition is held in September in the Town Hall and you can exhibit four pieces of your art (charges apply to cover costs). In March each year we run the art exhibition which is part of the Cambridge Autumn Festival.  Prestigious artists from all around New Zealand send their art here to display it in our Town Hall along with our own local artists and it is an honour to be part of this event that makes good sales. 

Art in the Park
Our location on Thornton Road in a parklike setting is the perfect spot to display our work on easels and tables under the trees and in our clubhouse which we set up like a gallery. Our artists can work outside and engage the public in conversations about their art and share their passion and sell their work.

Discounted workshop access
We run a variety of workshops during the year with professional teachers.  There is a charge for these but our members are given a discount and preference for access. 

Private Facebook group access
Join our Facebook community to connect with fellow members to share ideas, discussions and information about things of interest.  “Cambridge Art Society NZ” is a closed Facebook Group and you apply to join once you are a member of our Society. 

WiFi is available in The Painting Place.  
We have a YouTube sign in which is set up to give you access to a large number of art subscriptions. Please note the log in details are on the whiteboard.

Annual Christmas picnic
This is held outside under the trees to celebrate the year behind us and the year ahead. 

Committee
We have a very active committee and welcome your ideas and contributions. Let us know if you would like to be on the committee.

Constitution
We are an Incorporated Society and as such have a Constitution which governs how we run our club.  We hold an AGM at the beginning of each year where new members are elected.
