Admission Free
This is one of the oldest established Art Societies in South Wales and features a permanent exhibition in the historic Old Porthcawl Police Station, situated in the centre of the main shopping street, above the museum.
The Gallery is free admission. All are welcome to browse and admire the works on display or purchase a picture of their choice from an average of over a hundred pictures, with a wide range of subjects, including local scenes, portraits, flowers and animal studies. We also have crafts on display and hold regular Craft Fayres, when even more variety is on display.
The exhibition is constantly changing, and with a total of four major competitions held each year, is well worth your regular visit.
On Saturdays in fine weather you can meet us in the street outside the gallery where we also have our pictures on display.
If you would like a picture on a particular subject please talk to a society member in the gallery, or contact us via the website or FaceBook page. Our members will be happy to undertake a commission. We have a painting on display that you could win by picking a number for only £1 per number, well worth having a go.
Our members meet to paint and share ideas and inspiration on Wednesday afternoons 1 - 3pm and Wednesday evenings 7 - 9pm throughout the year. In addition there are demonstrations and workshops throughout the year, which are open to everybody.
