Club News 2022

KADAC has just completed its 55th year in existence. With a membership of around 50, its weekly sessions are well attended and enjoyed. The focus is of course on painting and the opportunity to share with colleagues work on current projects with a wide range of subjects, styles and techniques. The club also provides opportunities for making new friends and widening horizons in the world of art which is our common interest. 
The 'term' just completed has been an excellent example of this, with the following activities alongside the weekly painting sessions and our highly successful Exhibition in September:

An excellent Watercolour Demonstration by Perthshire Artist Allan Perera-Lyanage and organised by our resident Professional Adviser, local Artist Tom Sutton-Smith;
 
A well attended AGM setting the framework for next year's activities and appointing a new Committee, chaired by Dallas Key, to oversee the programme; 

An afternoon tea celebration of the award of a British Empire Medal to General Secretary and former President Glenys Andrews for services to the Arts in Perthshire and Kinross-Shire;

An excellent and well attended Christmas Lunch at The Kirklands!

Our 2023 Calendar is now published on this website.


We welcome new members, so if you are interested in joining, do pop along some Tuesday or Friday for a 'taster' visit.
