If you are thinking of joining our club, please feel free to come out on a evening to meet members and to see what we are working on. 
Foothills Art Club  hopes to hold an Art Show and Sale  with all members being eligible to take part.  Details TBA.

We have monthly scheduled ‘open-studios’ or ‘paint-outs’ at the Beaupre Hall, west of Cochrane, as well as outside ‘plein-air’ painting sessions during the summer. Club presenters    provide demos throughout the year. 

​Weekend long workshops are led by professional instructors. At least once a month, we have a ‘theme night’ when member(s) will share a special technique or resource. Also, a ‘critique corner’ night for members to bring their work for suggestions or feedback.     Visit our Education Page.
