Visitors to the Artists Club often remark on the excellent pictures which adorn the Club’s rooms – and the dining room in particular, with its large painting by Will Penn by the windows.

Many of the Club’s early members were professional artists, part of a heyday of painters working and exhibiting in Liverpool in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century.

The paintings in the Club – mainly presidents’ portraits, and informal sketches – give only a hint of its artistic heritage, and the quality of its members’ output. In this talk by Niall Hodson, Curator of the Williamson Art Gallery we will be introduced to some of the artists behind the pictures, and the lively Liverpool art scene in which the Artists Club’s early members made their names.
