The NSAS began as the Bishopdale Sketching Club established in 1889 by Bishop Suter and friends.
Today the Society meets in the Grabham Studio and has its own gallery, the McKee Room featuring an
ongoing programme of exhibitions. Society members are invited to participate in NSAS Spring and
Autumn exhibitions displayed throughout The Suter. NSAS offers supporters (general) and working
artist memberships, and benefits include exhibiting, workshops, trips, events and a regular
newsletter.
