About the group

Group background and purpose

The Chapel Allerton Artists group was established in 2019, bringing together artists working across a variety of mediums including print, weaving, illustration, digital and painting. The group meets regularly in Chapel Allerton or online with the purpose of socialising, sharing experiences, giving support and exhibiting.

The group is open to artists living or working in the Chapel Allerton area. We take a flexible approach to membership, which includes professional and semi-professional artists, regardless of any formal qualifications. You can see some of our artists work on Yorkshire Art and in person at our group exhibitions and events. If you would like to join the group, please contact chapelallertonartists@gmail.com and check out our Instagram and Facebook pages.

Previous Events in 2020

Over the weekend of the 4-6th September 2020 the Chapel Allerton Artists created a Trail of Art. 18 artists who live or work in Chapel Allerton displayed pieces of their work in the windows of independent retailers. With Covid-19 preventing artists from carrying out traditional exhibitions the group wanted to do something to give artists visibility and bring the Chapel Allerton community together in a Covid-safe way. The trail of art was a great way to explore Chapel Allerton, visit local retailers and see the breadth of local creative talent.
