Lymington Arts Group (LAGs)

Welcome to the Lymington Arts Group

From the budding amateur to the professional artist we offer the opportunity to all those who are interested in art to come together and share knowledge and expertise with new friends – everyone is welcome.

Announcements

We have had a great start to the year which includes a fabulous lunch at the South Lawn Hotel thanking our sponsor Dagless & Whitlock for their continued sponsorship. Huge congratulations to John Collins who won the Best Painting competition. The Rose Bowl has gone AWOL so John was forced to take a bottle of Rose wine as his winning prize – hopefully he will forgive us in due course!
