Welcome!
The Kingston Arts & Letters Club is a social club for visual artists, writers and performing artists and also for art lovers. Its current home at the Kingston Yacht Club, 1 Maitland St., provides a relaxed environment for emerging and established artists to gather and discuss their craft and inspiration.
Members and guests enjoy monthly ‘meetings’, where guest visual artists, writers and performing artists present their latest works and ideas. Meetings are scheduled at 7 PM, usually on the second Tuesday of the month. (for Topics and specific dates, times and location, see Club News).
Kingston Arts & Letters Club was formed by local visual artist Pat Shea, and had its inaugural meeting November 2007. Pat’s inspiration was The Group of Seven’s round table at the Arts & Letters Club of Toronto in the 1920s – a time of great innovation and expansion in the Canadian art scene. While inspired by the Toronto Club, Kingston A&L is relaxed and casual, allowing artists at all levels and from all disciplines to feel welcome.
