HISTORY OF CHISLEHURST ARTISTS


In July 1988 three residents of Chislehurst decided to start a group for artists living in the area


They planned to hold an exhibition outside the Pop In Parlour in Chislehurst and asked friends who belonged to an Adult Education evening class to join them in exhibiting their paintings


Another exhibition followed in October 1988 at which point it was realised there were many artists in Chislehurst interested in starting a group


In January 1989 the first meeting of Chislehurst Artists took place and today there are now over 50 members who meet and exhibit their work regularly
