About us
A long local connection
The Tavistock Group of Artists is an art group with a long local connection. It was originally formed in 1953 by Tavistock Grammar School Art Mistress, Norna Beadle, and Margery Nicol, Senior Mistress at the school.
Since 1964, an annual exhibition has been held enabling members to display their work to the public. Additional exhibitions have continued to be held in a variety of venues in the surrounding area.
In 2012, we held our successful 57th Annual Exhibition.
Exhibitions
TGA holds an annual art exhibition in the Butcher’s Hall, Tavistock, a historic venue adjacent to Tavistock’s Pannier Market. Members are encouraged to exhibit their artworks with a potential to sell work to members of the public.
Talks
TGA hosts monthly talks from renowned speakers who discuss their work and the techniques they use. Some talks have a practical element where members can try the techniques discussed. Guests of members are welcome – admission charge of £5
