"I visited the art centre for an oil painting lesson with Marc Turner. Initially, I was a little apprehensive, as the other participants were professional artists. I have done very little art over the past few years and no oils since I was a teenager. However, I really enjoyed the lesson and I was very pleased with my ' first attempt' painting. Marc was an amazing teacher and everyone was really friendly. I would recommend the centre and hope to return soon."

"I am an artist and have exhibited several pieces of work at Chester Art Centre. Very recently, the Centre sold one of my pieces. Now, as an artist, many of us know that payment for our work is consistently a nightmare to get! Not the case with Chester Art Centre. I was paid within 14 days of the piece of art being sold!!! Brilliant. Onwards and Upwards for this very special arts centre.
