Helping to support Wooler Arts

Supporting Wooler Arts Making a donation Running a voluntary arts organisation is financially very challenging. Currently we receive no public funding, but have to rely on trusts, small grant applications, individual donations and box office income. Being a Registered Charity brings benefits such as Gift Aid, but it is the generosity of individuals that has been so helpful over the past five years, particularly with regard to the Summer Concerts, our most expensive activity. As we look to the future, we hope that support will be forthcoming in a number of different ways. If you would like to make an individual donation, you can do this by cheque made payable to Wooler Arts and sent to Wooler Arts PO Box 134 Wooler Northumberland NE66 9ES If you prefer to pay by bank transfer , please email us at info@woolerarts.org.uk and we will send you our bank details. Please make it clear which of the following you would like to support: Wooler Arts Summer Concerts Concerts and Recitals Glendale Community Ceilidh Band Poetry Café Visual Arts - Open Exhibition Highlights Thank you very much for considering to support us - it is very much appreciated.

Wooler Life Drawing Group

Wooler Life Drawing Group meets once a month, usually on the last Saturday of the month from 2-5pm. A group of people with a wide range of experience and expertise meet at Gallery @ No.6 in Wooler High Street for Life Drawing Classes. These classes are guided and organised by Sarah Bray and Claire Bagness.

Artists need to bring their own drawing materials, although the organisers can provide some easels. The group engages with the challenges of drawing the life model, with time limits from one minute to 45 minutes.
Each session costs £15. If you are interested in joining this friendly group, come along on the last Saturday of the month at 1.45. It starts promptly at 2pm and finishes at 5pm, with a tea break in the middle!

For further information, please contact Claire Bagness: [email protected]
