On 11 May 2022, the Liver Sketching Club celebrates its 150th anniversary making it the oldest art club in England.
It was founded in Liverpool in 1872 and has been continuously active in the city ever since – never more so than today when around 100 members attend one or more of the 40 classes in our studio each month, all working from live models.
Many events are planned to mark this special year for Liver Sketching Club and details are listed on the club’s website: http://www.liversketchingclub.
The club is especially pleased to be exhibiting work by some of their current members at the Atkinson during the month of our anniversary.
