paisley artists are a group of individuals with a shared interest - the creation and appreciation of art. The club maintains a membership of 75 persons and meets fortnightly between October and March each year for demonstrations, critic nights, work nights and slide presentations. An annual exhibition is held at the Paisley Museum and Art Gallery, normally between mid-November and mid-December. The precise origins of the club are not known except that it was established in 1907 and the members have been meeting regularly, exhibiting and selling their work ever since.

The continued success of the club is a testiment to the skills and talents of the membership who consistently produce a high standard of work - a large proportion of the club funds are taken as commission on the sale of paintings at the annual exhibition.

The club is not affiliated to (and should not be confused with) the Paisley Art Institute (PAI), however a number of the members have also gained corporate membership of the PAI which is a further indication of the standard of work to which the club aspires.

We hope that you will visit our annual exhibition and will perhaps recognise the work of some of our members at other exhibitions also.
