The first exhibition of the New English Art Club (NEAC) was held in 1886 by a group of young London artists dissatisfied with the academic RA.

During the entire 20th Century, in spite of waves of movements that pulled the art world in many directions, the club’s artists have held to their commitment to figurative art.

Tim and Trish Scott Bolton have had a long association with the NEAC, working closely with numerous members, who have been important to the organisation of the courses held at Summerleaze over the years.

This exhibition is a salute to the club and a visual tribute to many friendships.
