Ridley Art Club

A little-known exhibiting society that held exhibitions at the Grafton Galleries between 1889-c. 1919. It was founded by the students of painter Matthew Ridley, (1837-1888) and is also recorded at 20 Kensington Gore, London as late as 1951 but as yet this has to be confirmed. It is believed that the Ridley Art Club (also referred to as the Ridley Art Society) and the Ridley Art Gallery are the same but clarification would be of assistance. Matthew Ridley also ran the Ridley School of Art during the last decade of the 19th Century.
