A Brief History

Founded in 1919, the Society of Graphic Fine Art exists to promote and exhibit original works of high quality in colour or black and white, with the emphasis on excellence in drawing and draughtsmanship, demonstrated by hand. This includes all media, pencil, pen, brush, painting, charcoal, conté and any of the forms of original printmaking.

The Society is the only national society based in the UK dedicated exclusively to drawing. We also have an international membership.
The Society holds an annual Open exhibition in London with selected work, which was at Mall Galleries this year.

There are several Members Only exhibitions, with no selection, in London and the regions and also online exhibitions.
The Society welcomes and encourages members to take an active part in the Society, in regional events, social media, videos and drawing days.
