News: Lawrence Art Society unveils refreshed brand and new website

Devizes-based Lawrence Art Society has launched a refreshed visual identity and a new website designed to make it easier for local artists, collectors and visitors to explore the group’s activities and work. The site leads with the rallying line 'explore, engage, and be inspired' and organises membership information, artist galleries, events and exhibition details in a clear, modern layout.

A clearer home for membership, events and galleries

The redesigned site groups core information into intuitive sections: Who We Are (history and venues), Our Artists (featured galleries and contact options), Exhibition & Sale, Membership and News & Events, so prospective members and visitors can quickly find what they need. The site also features artist galleries, a newsletter sign-up and social links, making it straightforward to connect with the society's members and the wider community.

Practical details for visitors and artists

The site lists the society’s upcoming calendar, including the Devizes Annual Exhibition (St Mary, Devizes), scheduled for 2–9 July 2026, as well as specific events such as a plein-air outing, art group get-togethers, and monthly social painting sessions. Clearly displayed dates and event pages make it easier for members and the public to plan visits and participate.

Honouring a local legacy

Named for Sir Thomas Lawrence, the society continues to position itself as a community-focused organisation that celebrates both regional artistic heritage and contemporary practice. The new site reinforces that mission by combining historical context with current programming and opportunities for engagement, including demonstrations, exhibitions, and plein-air gatherings.

What the refresh means for the community

By modernising its online presence and introducing a bold new logo that reflects the society’s creative spirit, Lawrence Art Society has made its activities more discoverable for residents and visitors to Devizes, Wiltshire. The clearer navigation and prominent event listings should help the society attract new members, increase exhibition attendance and make it easier for buyers to find and contact exhibiting artists. This is also an invitation for existing members to update galleries and take advantage of new promotional opportunities.

Encouraging new members of all ages and abilities

The refreshed visual identity and contemporary website layout make the society feel more accessible and inviting to people at every stage of their artistic journey. The new logo and friendly imagery signal a welcoming, contemporary community, while simple navigation highlights beginner-friendly activities, family events and affordable membership options. Together, these changes reduce barriers to entry, encourage younger participants and returners to art, and reassure less experienced makers that the society values development alongside exhibition — helping to grow a more diverse, intergenerational membership.

How to get involved

The Society invites artists and art lovers to join the society, contribute towards the featured artists' galleries, sign up for the monthly newsletter, and attend upcoming demonstrations and the annual exhibition. For anyone interested in local art in Devizes, the refreshed Lawrence Art Society website is a convenient entry point to the group’s programme and membership options.
