Staff attending a °×С½ãÂÛ̳ picture club meeting
°×С½ãÂÛ̳ Picture Club

The °×С½ãÂÛ̳ Picture Club was founded in 1960 by 15 academics (from French and Engineering!) and owns nearly 200 contemporary works of art, ranging from bold abstracts in oils to delicate watercolour landscapes. Purchases are funded by members’ subscriptions and revenue from sales. ÌýÌý

New members are welcome! Any °×С½ãÂÛ̳ staff member or department is eligible to join.

Meetings are held once a term in the Haldane Room. Members preview the pictures over a glass or two of wine then a draw takes place. As members' namesÌýare called they take their selected picture - if a person or department has more than one subscription their name is called for each membership. There are usually pictures left and another can be chosen. Pictures may be taken home as well as hung in offices, and are then returned to the next meeting.

Artists currently represented include: current and former Slade staff and students such as Jo Volley, Susan Collins, Charlotte Cornish, Barto Dos Santos, Heidi König, Philip Sutton, Anita Klein, Peter Daglish, Anthony Gross and Paula Rego; others include Colin Kent, Donald Hamilton Fraser, Richard Bawden, Brendan Neiland, Sir Terry Frost, Mychael Barratt, Trevor Price, and Richard Bawden.Ìý
