Hello! & Welcome to the Hinckley & District Society of Arts Web Pages. . .

Coming up!
22nd April DYOT Members Only:
Painting with other members, tea and biscuits included.
1st May – 19th May: Burbage Festival (BCAF) is on across the village with a wide range of events, check them out here
13th May: Demonstration – Paul Berryman – Charcoal Portrait
This event is free to members but if you would like to come see the demonstration non-members can enter on the night for just £5 so come and see what we do and get involved.
Paul says Beauty. Reduction. Darkness. Working Fast. Working from life are the true nature of art – he will show us these in his charcoal portrait.
18th May: Art & Crafts Fair – Advance Notice
We are once again putting on a May Art & Craft Fair for Members to display and sell their art and craft items. Stalls will be £10 per table for members only and will include a ticket for tea/coffee and a slice of cake from the HDSA Cafe. If you would like a stall please let Sara know as soon as possible. HDSA do not charge commission on any sales, except we will deduct the IZetlle processing charge if you use the HDSA credit card machine for the sale, which is currently about 1.7%.
BCAF will be having a big event at Burbage Library across the road, so we are hoping for sun and a big turn out as people usually visit both events. We will of course be looking for volunteers to help set up, take down and also help run our HDSA Cafe and make homemade cakes for sale – please can you let me know if you are able to help!
20th May DYOT Members Only:
