Why do we not meet during the day?
St Neots Art Group caters for members who have other commitments during the day and can therefore only attend in the evening. It is felt that there are limited groups for artists with this constraint. 

Why do we not meet in St Neots?
The St Neots Art Group did originally meet in St Neots. However, the costs of suitable hall hire and parking constrains make the group more viable in an out-of-town location.

What do we do at our meetings?
In all our meetings, members are free to work on their own projects and socialise with friends.  During the evening, we also provide refreshments free to our members.We also have specific events scheduled throughout the year to provide an optional activity. These may include: group art activities, demonstrations, workshops.
On the first Wednesday of each month, we have a 'Competition with critique' evening. Members are encouraged to bring along a piece of art they have created that matches the competition title for that evening. During this evening members have the chance to vote on their favourite artwork and this is followed with a quick friendly critique. During the year, the results are totalled up and the member with the highest score is awarded the '​Moira Nicholson Vase' - See the Awards page on our website.
All the planned events are competition themes are listed on our website calendar.
