About the Dashwood Art Society

We are a collective of artists living and working in North London. The group  came into being in 1992, coalescing around  a life drawing group based in Dashwood Road, Crouch End. It has flourished ever since, retaining a nucleus  of original members,  whilst welcoming newcomers over the years. Our first show was at Lauderdale House, Highgate in 1993 and  exhibiting has formed a constant theme of our artistic practice ever since. The group has a thriving social life, and stages regular painting trips to locations both at home and abroad as well as frequent gallery visits.  We meet regularly as a life drawing group, but all members are also practising artists working in a variety of media including painting, ceramics and sculpture.
