Greystones Art Group

t was back in 1965 that Jim Provost and Sam French came together with Jack Sutton, Dr Ryan Tittle, Angela Devereoux and Marian Fagan to set up the Greystones Art Group.

Naturally, the idea for the group was conceived by Jim and Sam as they journeyed up to Dublin on the train while playing a game of chess.

The main purpose of the group was – and still is – to encourage amateur artists. The aim is to advance members’ artistic knowledge and skills through on-going lectures and demonstrations.

In addition to meeting every Monday, from 10am to 1pm, at SoBe, there are also annual exhibitions of paintings and other works of art, for all Greystones Art Group members, both amateur and professional.
